Mr. _Dryden_ was an Admirer of our Author, and, indeed, he owed him a great deal, as those who have read them bothmay very easily observe. And, I think, in Justice to 'em both, I shouldnot on this Occasion omit what Mr. _Dryden_ has said of him. Shakespear, _who, taught by none, did first impart To _Fletcher_ Wit, to lab'ring _Johnson_ Art. He, Monarch-like, gave those his Subjects Law, And is that Nature which they Paint and Draw. _Fletcher_ reach'd that which on his heights did grow, Whil...st _Johnson_ crept and gather'd all below: This did his Love, and this his Mirth digest, One imitates him most, the other best. If they have since out-writ all other Men, 'Tis with the Drops which fell from _Shakespear_'s Pen. The[B]Storm which vanish'd on the neighb'ring Shoar, Was taught by _Shakespear_'s Tempest to roar. That Innocence and Beauty which did smile In _Fletcher_, grew on this _Enchanted Isle_. But _Shakespear_'s Magick could not copied be, Within that Circle none durst walk but he.
