## Beniamini Jonson epigramma 
Inter praefationes reperitur epigramma a Beniamino Jonson, aemuli et amici, ad Shakesperii honorem compositum, titulo *To the memory of my beloved, the author, Mr. William Shakespeare: and what he hath left us*. Jonson in his versibus Shakesperii tragoedi cum aliis scriptoribus comparationem elaborat:
:*... My Shakespeare, rise; I will not lodge thee by*
:*Chaucer, or Spenser, or bid Beaumont lye*
:*A little further to make thee a roome:*
:*Thou art a moniment without a tombe*
:*And art alive still while thy booke doth live*
:*And we have wits to read and praise to give.*
:*That I not mixe thee so my braine excuses --*
:*I meane with great but disproportion'd Muses --*
:*For if I thought my judgement were of yeeres*
:*I should commit thee surely with thy peeres,*
:*And tell how farre thou didst our Lily out-shine,*
:*Or sporting Kid, or Marlowes mighty line.*
:*And though thou hadst small Latine and lesse Greeke,*
:*From thence to honour thee, I would not seeke*
:*For names; but call forth thund'ring Eschilus,*
:*Euripides, and Sophocles to us,*
:*Paccuvius, Accius, him of Cordova dead,*
:*To life againe, to heare thy buskin tread*
:*And shake a stage ...
Ultimis verbis hic citatis eundem ludum Jonson repetit, verbis *shake a stage*, quo Robertus Greene usus est in opere suo ''Greene's Groat's Worth of Wit* anno 1592 divulgato. Ibi Shakesperium novum scriptorem vituperat, *An upstart crow beautified with our feathers*; ibi nomine gentilicio poëtae (quod alii saepe hyphene dividebant, *Shake-speare*) alludit et in *Shake-scene* mutat (scil. "qui scaenam quassat").
