A CoNTRAsT.-Speed in composition ia
a questionable advantage. Poetic history
records two names which may represent
the rapid and the thoughtful pen--Lopez
de Vega and Milton. We see one epouring
out verses more rapidly than secretary
could write them; the other building up,
in the watches of the dark, few majestic
lines. One leaving his treasures to be
easily compressed into o single volume
the other to be spread abundantly over
forty-six quartos. One gaining fifteen
pounds-the other q hundred thousand du-
cats. One sitting at the door ofhis house,
when the sun shone, in coarse coat OF
gray cloth, and visited only by a few learn
ed men from foreign countries--the other
followed by crowds wherever he appeared,
while even the children shouted after him
with delight. 1t is only since the earth
has fallen on both that the fame and the
honor of the Spaniard and the Englishman
have been changed. He who nearly fin
ished comedy before breakfast, now lies
motionless in his smallniche of monumen4
tai biography; and he who, long choosing,
began late, is waking mp and down, in
his singing robes, and with laurel round
his head, in the cities Of many lands hav-
ing his hume and his welcome in every
devout heart, and upon every learned
tongue Of the Christian world.
