have_v derive_v from_o they_o the_o original_a of_o their_o several_a race_n though_o it_o be_v hardly_o yet_o agree_v whether_o his_o story_n be_v true_a or_o fiction_n in_o short_a these_o two_o immortal_a poet_n must_v be_v allow_v to_o have_v so_o much_o excel_v in_o their_o kind_n as_o to_o have_v exceed_v all_o comparison_n to_o have_v even_o extinguish_v emulation_n and_o in_o a_o manner_n confine_v true_a poetry_n not_o only_o to_o their_o two_o language_n but_o to_o their_o very_a person_n and_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v so_o much_o of_o the_o true_a genius_n of_o

of_o a_o thousand_o year_n for_o one_o man_n that_o be_v bear_v capable_a of_o make_v such_o a_o poet_n as_o homer_n or_o virgil_n there_o may_v not_o be_v a_o thousand_o bear_v capable_a of_o make_v

rather_o to_o have_v value_v themselves_o than_o improve_v any_o body_n else_o the_o truth_n be_v there_o be_v something_o in_o the_o genius_n of_o poetry_n too_o libertine_n to_o be_v confine_v to_o

of_o our_o poet_n most_o celebrate_v in_o this_o kind_n it_o may_v seem_v a_o defect_n in_o the_o ancient_a stage_n that_o the_o character_n introduce_v be_v so_o few_o and_o those_o so_o common_a as_o a_o covetous_a old_a man_n a_o amorous_a young_a a_o witty_a wench_n a_o crafty_a slave_n a_o brag_a soldier_n the_o spectator_n meet_v nothing_o upon_o the_o stage_n but_o what_o they_o meet_v in_o the_o street_n and_o at_o every_o turn_v all_o the_o variety_n be_v draw_v only_o from_o different_a and_o uncommon_a event_n whereas_o if_o the_o character_n be_v so_o too_o the_o diversity_n and_o the_o pleasure_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o more_o but_o as_o of_o most_o general_a custom_n in_o a_o country_n there_o be_v usual_o some_o ground_n from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o people_n or_o the_o climate_n so_o there_o may_v be_v among_o we_o for_o this_o vein_n of_o our_o stage_n and_o a_o great_a variety_n of_o humour_n in_o the_o picture_n because_o there_o be_v a_o great_a variety_n in_o the_o life_n this_o may_v proceed_v from_o the_o native_a plenty_n of_o our_o soil_n the_o unequalness_n of_o our_o climate_n as_o well_o as_o the_o ease_n of_o our_o government_n and_o the_o liberty_n of_o profess_v opinion_n and_o faction_n which_o perhaps_o our_o neighbour_n may_v have_v about_o they_o but_o be_v force_v to_o disguise_n and_o thereby_o they_o may_v come_v in_o time_n to_o be_v extinguish_v plenty_n beget_v wantonness_n and_o pride_n wantonness_n be_v apt_a to_o invent_v and_o pride_n scorn_v to_o imitate_v liberty_n beget_v stomach_n or_o heart_n and_o stomach_n will_v not_o be_v constrain_v thus_o we_o come_v to_o have_v more_o original_n and_o more_o that_o appear_v what_o they_o be_v we_o have_v more_o humour_n because_o every_o man_n follow_v his_o own_o and_o take_v a_o pleasure_n perhaps_o a_o pride_n to_o show_v it_o on_o the_o contrary_a where_o the_o people_n be_v general_o poor_a and_o force_v to_o hard_a labour_n their_o action_n and_o life_n be_v all_o of_o a_o piece_n where_o they_o serve_v hard_a master_n they_o must_v follow_v his_o example_n as_o well_o as_o command_n and_o be_v force_v upon_o imitation_n in_o small_a matter_n as_o

in_o the_o application_n and_o pursuit_n of_o their_o action_n and_o their_o life_n beside_o all_o this_o there_o be_v another_o sort_n of_o variety_n among_o we_o which_o arise_v from_o our_o
