To Shakespeare

Most tuneful singer, lover tenderest,

Most sad, most piteous, and most musical,

Thine is the shrine more pilgrim-worn than

The shrines of singers; high above the

Thy trumpet sounds most loud, most manifest.

Yet better were it if a lonely

Of woodland birds, a song, a madrigal,

Were all the jetsam of thy sea's unrest.

For now thy praises have become too

On vulgar lips, and every yelping

Yaps thee a paean ; the whiles little men,

Not tall enough to worship in a crowd,

Spit their small wits at thee.

Ah ! better

The broken shrine, the lonely worshipper.
