On Reading Shakespeare.

Let him that Is yet unaoquacnted
with the powers Of Shakespeare, and
who desires to feel the highest pleas
ure that the drama can give, read
every play from tho first scene 10 the
last with utter negligence of an his
commentators.
When his fancy is once on the wing,
let It not stop at correction or explana-
ton. When his attention IL strongly
engaged. let Il disdain alike to turn
aside to the name Of Theobald and of
Pope.
Let him read on through brightness
and obscusaty, through stagrity and
corruption; bet him preserve his com.
prehsnsion Of the dialogue and his In.
terest In the fable.
And when the v@easures OF novelty
have ceased. let LIN attempt exact.
ness and read the comment ators.-
