Drama's Vitallest Expression is the Common Day

Drama's Vitallest Expression is the Common Day
That arise and set about Us --
Other Tragedy

Perish in the Recitation --
This -- the more exert[^a1]best enact
When the Audience is scattered
And the Boxes shut --

[^a1: more exert | more exert]

"Hamlet" to Himself were Hamlet --
Had not Shakespeare wrote --
Though the "Romeo" leave[^a2]left no Record
Of his Juliet,

[^a2: leave | leave]

It were tenderer --[^a3]infinite enacted
In the Human Heart --
Only Theatre recorded
Never yet was shut --[^a4]Owner cannot shut --

[^a3: tenderer -- | tenderer --]

[^a4: Never yet was shut -- | Never yet was shut --]
