"value": "In country beauties as we often see Something that takes in their simplicity, Yet while they charm they know not they are fair, And take without their spreading of the snare-- Such artless beauty lies in _Shakespear's_ wit; 'Twas well in spite of him whate'r he writ. His excellencies came, and were not sought, His words like casual atoms made a thought; Drew up themselves in rank and file, and writ, He wondering how the devil it were, such wit. Thus, like the drunken tinker in his play, He grew a prince, and never knew which way. He did not know what trope or figure meant, But to persuade is to be eloquent; So in this _Cæsar_ which this day you see, _Tully_ ne'er spoke as he makes _Anthony_. Those then that tax his learning are to blame, He knew the thing, but did not know the name; Great _Iohnson_ did that ignorance adore, And though he envied much, admir'd him more. The faultless _Iohnson_ equally writ well; _Shakespear_ made faults--but then did more excel. One close at guard like some old fencer lay, T'other more open, but he shew'd more play. In imitation _Iohnson's_ wit was shown, Heaven made _his_ men, but _Shakespear_ made his own. Wise _Iohnson's_ talent in observing lay, But others' follies still made up his play. He drew the like in each elaborate line, But _Shakespear_ like a master did design. _Iohnson_ with skill dissected human kind, And show'd their faults, that they their faults might find; But then, as all anatomists must do, He to the meanest of mankind did go, And took from gibbets such as he would show. Both are so great, that he must boldly dare Who both of them does judge, and both compare; If amongst poets one more bold there be, The man that dare attempt in either way, is he."
