Those who accuse him to have wanted learning, give him the greater commendation: he was naturally learned; he needed not the spectacles of books to read nature; he looked inwards, and found her there.
Heere I would let slippe
(If I had any in mee) schollershippe,
And from all Learninge keepe these lines as cleere
as Shakespeares best are, which our heires shall heare
Preachers apte to their auditors to showe
how farr sometimes a mortall man may goe
by the dimme light of Nature".
这是Beaumont写给Jonson的信,在信中赞美莎士比亚。
