[Sidenote: _B. Jonson_ and _Shakespeare_ compar’d. ] An additional Word or two naturally falls in here upon the Genius ofour Author, as compared with that of _Jonson_ his Contemporary. Theyare confessedly the greatest Writers our Nation could ever boastof in the _Drama_. The first, we say, owed all to his prodigiousnatural Genius; and the other a great deal to his Art and Learning. This, if attended to, will explain a very remarkable Appearance intheir Writings. Besides those wonderful Mast...erpieces of Art andGenius, which each has given Us; They are the Authors of other Worksvery unworthy of them: But with this Difference; that in _Jonson_’sbad Pieces we don’t discover one single Trace of the Author ofthe _Fox_ and _Alchemist_: but in the wild extravagant Notesof _Shakespeare_, you every now and then encounter Strains thatrecognize the divine Composer. This Difference may be thus accountedfor. _Jonson_, as we said before, owing all his Excellence to hisArt, by which he sometimes strain’d himself to an uncommon Pitch, when at other times he unbent and play’d with his Subject, havingnothing then to support him, it is no wonder he wrote so far beneathhimself.
