ate as any of Shakespeare's lark…like interludes。 The brevity of the poems and their uniform smoothness sometimes produce the effect of monotony。 The crowded richness of the line advises a desultory reading。 But one must go back to them again and again。 They bewitch the memory； having once caught it； and insist on saying themselves over and over。 Among the poets of England the author of the 〃Hesperides〃 remains； and is likely to remain； unique。 As Shakespeare stands alone in his vast domain； so Herrick stands alone in his scanty plot of ground。
Shine； Poet！ in thy place； and be content。
