Classic Poem

All these, thy friends, subscribing to thy praise
And fair deservings, have done well; 'twill raise
Opinion in the readers, and engage
Them to peruse, what we saw on the stage.
If knowing ones, their judgment thus will be;
The commendation's short, the Comedy
Speaks better for itself, more home; but yet
My vote must go, I say no purer wit
Did ever grace the scene, nay, it hath in't
Expressions of so new and rich a mint,
That the old poets well might wish the name
Of this new Play were added to their fame.
