No, he before his sight must place The natural and living face ; The real object must command Each judgment of his eye, and motion of his hand.

Seite 10 - This has been the case with Shakspeare, Fletcher, Jonson, and many others ; part of whose poems I should take the boldness to prune and lop away, if the care of replanting them in print did belong to me : neither would I make any scruple to cut off from some the unnecessary...
