_--Natura sublimis & Acer
Nam spirat Tragicum satis & faeliciter Audet,

There is a Book of Poems, publish'd in 1640, under the Name of Mr.
_William Shakespear_, but as I have but very lately seen it, without an
Opportunity of making any Judgment upon it, I won't pretend to
determine, whether it be his or no.
