A CARD TO DAVID GARRICK, Esq.
On his playing Hamlet, after his Return from Italy in 1766.
From Death's long sleep had Shakespear rose,
And seen Thee paint his Muse of fire,
Portray so well young Hamlet's woes;
What could the Poet more desire?
And seen Thee paint his Muse of fire,
Portray so well young Hamlet's woes;
What could the Poet more desire?
Thine Eye the Soul's great purpose bears,
With Thee we melt, with Thee we freeze;
You guide our Spirits, and our Tears,
And rule our Passions, as you please.
With Thee we melt, with Thee we freeze;
You guide our Spirits, and our Tears,
And rule our Passions, as you please.
