To Director Schmidt.Author of the »Shakespeare Lexicon«.

The spirit of great William spake to me:
»My messenger and herald thou shalt be!
Go to the man, who of you Germans all
Did of my language every whispered call
Most deeply feel, most clearly understand:
I greet him, tell him, from Olympian Land:
He did not lose the labour of his love,
Who to interpret all my beauty strove:
Measure for measure I am wont to give;
Immortal with myself his name shall live.«
