To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the Play his genius found full scope, and in the Play alone ; with many brilliant exceptions, even the interspersed songs are comparatively inferior. Taking the main bulk of the collection of 1609, it may be regarded as chronologically concurrent with the first and second epochs of dramatic work, when Shakespear passed through the experimental stage of editorial recension to that of original authorship, but when the power to create Hamlet, Lear, Othello, and the Tempest could only just be su...rmised from the superiority of the second series of dramas to their predecessors. The poet never displayed a parallel advance in lyrical poetry, partly perchance from want of leisure and The Lyrical Work 245 the more lucrative returns from the theatres, yet also partly from the consciousness of a less marked bent in the other direction. Whatever judgment may be passed on these effusions as poetical efforts, they are not inferior in that respect to Vemis and Adonis and Litcrece, and they are infinitely more interesting and important as biographical documents and guides, in spite of all that has been expressed and written to the contrary ; that they are unequal in merit may be set down to their intermittent production under various influ- ences.
