of the sixteenth century (according to Ritson, Bibl. Poet., under the title of “ Mortemeriados. ... Printed by J. R. for Matthew Lownes, 1596,” 4to); but there is, it seems, no trace of the passage in question in that edition. The first edition in which it is found is that of 1608, in which it stands thus :

“Such one he was (of him we boldly say)
In whose rich soul all sovereign powers did suit,
In whom in peace the elements all lay
So mixt, as none could sovereignty impute;
As all did govern, yet all did obey :
His lively temper was so absolute,
That 't seemed, when heaven his model first began,

In him it showed perfection in a man." In a subsequent edition published in 1619 it is remodelled as follows:

" He was a man (then boldly dare to say)

In whose rich soul the virtues well did suit;
In whom so mixt the elements all lay
That none to one could sovereignty impute;
As all did govern, so did all obey:
He of a temper was so absolute,
As that it seemed, when nature him began,

She meant to show all that might be in man." Malone, who holds that Shakespeare's play of Julius Cæsar was probably produced about 1607, is inclined to think that Drayton was the copyist, even as his verses originally stood. “In the altered stanza,” he adds," he certainly was.” Steevens, in the mistaken notion that Drayton's stanza as found in the edition of his Barons' Wars published in 1619 had appeared in the original poem, published, as he conceives, in 1598, had supposed that Shakespeare had in this instance deigned to imitate or borrow from his contemporary.
