1 To the Reader.
2 This Figure, that thou here seest put,
3 It was for gentle Shakespeare cut;
4 Wherein the Grauer had a strife
5 with Nature, to out- doo the life:
6 O, could he but haue drawne his wit
7 As well in brasse, as he hath hit
8 His face; the Print would then surpasse
9 All, that was euer writ in brasse.
10 But, since he cannot, Reader, looke
11 Not on his Picture, but his Booke.
