An Essay On The Learning Of Shakespeare: Addressed To Joseph Cradock, Esq. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Tho' I have as much of the Natale Solum about me as [pg 215] any man whatsoever; yet, I own, the Primrose Path is still more pleasing than the Fosse or the Watling Street:
Age cannot wither it, nor custom stale
It's infinite variety.——
And when I am fairly rid of the Dust of topographical Antiquity, which hath continued much longer about me than I expected, you may very probably be troubled again with the ever fruitful Subject of Shakespeare and his Commentators.
[pg 216]
