| | | MELLIFLUOUS Shakespeare, whose enchanting quill | |
| Commanded mirth or passion, was but Will; | |
| And famous Jonson, though his learnèd pen | |
| He dipped in Castaly, is still but Ben. | |
| Fletcher and Webster, of that learnèd pack | 5 |
| None of the meanest, was but Jack; | |
| Dekker but Tom, nor May, nor Middleton, | |
| And he’s but now Jack Ford that once was John. | | | | |
