Die Verse, die er wiederholt, höre man sich lieber im Original an:
Thrise fairer than myselfe ( thus I began )
The gods faire riches, sweete above compare,
Staine to all nimphes, [m]ore lovely the[n] a man,
More white and red than doves and roses are!
Nature that made thee with herselfe had a strife,
Saith that the worlde hath ending with thy life.
Und Ingenioso seufzt: „Sweete Mr. Shakspeare!"
