As Plautus and Seneca are accounted the best for comedy and tragedy among the Latines, so Shakespeare among the English is the most excellent in both kinds for the stage; for comedy witnes his Gentlemen of Verona, his Errors, his Loue Labours Lost, his Loue Labours Wonne, waarmee "Eind goed, Al goed" moet bedoeld zijn, his Midsummer Night Dreame, and his Merchant of Venice; for tragedy, his Richard the 2, Richard the 3, Henry the 4, King John, Titus Andronicus, and his Romeo and Juliet.
To thee that never blushest, though thy cheeks Are full of blood, O Saint Revenge, to thee I consecrate my murders, all my stabs, My bloody labours, tortures, stratagems, The volume of all wounds that wound from me, Mine is the stage, thine the tragedy." Men vergelijke hiermede de uitingen van den Moor Aaron en men zal Sh.'s streven naar eenvoud en natuurlijkheid erkennen.
