] SHAKSPERE AND MELTON. 121 to music, admits of nothing more than the change of a single note, and excludes that which is the true principle of life the attaining of the same result by an infinite variety of means. The plays of Shakspere are in no respect imitations of the Greeks : they may be called analogies, because by very different means they arrive at the same end ; whereas the French and Italian tragedies I have read, and the English ones on the same model, are mere copies, though they c...an- not be called likenesses, seeking the same effect by adopt- ing the same means, but under most inappropriate and adverse circumstances. I have thus been led to consider, that the ancient drama (meaning the works of ^schylus, Euripides, and Sophocles, for the rhetorical productions of the same class by the Romans are scarcely to be treated as original theatrical poems) might be contrasted with the Shaksperian drama. I call it the Shaksperian drama to distinguish it, because I know of no other writer who has realized the same idea, although I am told by some, that the Spanish poets, Lopez de Vega and Calderon, have been equally successful.
