In the room of the house at Stratford-on-
Avsn in which Shakespeare was born there
is framed autograph production of WASH
ington Irving's, which illustrates the
growth OF some welI-known lines. This is
q copy of Irving's first attempt 1t cele-
brating in verse the birthplace of Shakes
peare:
Great shakcspeare's
Then line IL wholly erased
The house Of Shakespeares birth We here mar
see,
That Of his death We find no tracs;
Vain the inquiry, for mortal he.
Beneath the above failure Irving happily
wrote this:
OF mighty shakespeare's birth the house We sees
That where he died in vain TO ind we Try;
Useless the search, for ell Immortal, he;
And those who are immortal never die.
This Is historically corrcct. The littis
dwelling so famous ~ Shakespeare's birth
place is standing. The house in which no
passed his last years and died became the
property of the Rev. Mr.. GastreIl, who cut
down and burned the old mulberry tree
planted by the Immortal" hand. and
RACED the house more than q century ago.
