Thus while I wandering pause o'er Shakspeares page.

I mark in visions of delight the sage,

High o'er the wrecks of man who stands sublime;
A column in the melancholy waste.

(Its cities humbled and its giories past)

Majestic 'mid the solitude of time.

DR. WOLCOT.

Shakspeare is the Homer of the English; he is altogether national.-In spite of philosophy and new views, the change of manners and the progress of knowledge, he reigns in the heart of the literature of his country.
