Drama's Vitallest Expression is the Common Day 1
That arise and set about Us-
Other Tragedy
Perish in the Recitation-4
This-the best enact
When the Audience is scattered
And the Boxes shut-
"Hamlet" to Himself were Hamlet-8
Had not Shakespeare wrote-
Though the "Romeo" left no Record
Of his Juliet,
It were infinite enacted 12
In the Human Heart-
Only Theatre recorded
Owner cannot shut-
