Come gentlemen your goldA
Thanks welcome to the showB
To hear a story toldA
In words you do not knowB
-
Now great Salvini riseC
And thunder through your tearsD
Aha friends let your eyesC
Interpret to your earsE
-
Gods 't is a goodly gameF
Observe his stride how grandG
When legs like his declaimF
Who can misunderstandG
-
See how that arm goes roundH
It says as plain as dayI
'I love ' 'The lost is found '-
'Well met sir ' or 'Away '-
-
And mark the drawing downJ
Of brows How accurateK
The language of that frownJ
Pain gentlemen or hateL
-
Those of the critic tradeM
Swear it is all as clearN
As if his tongue were madeM
To fit an English earO
-
Hear that Italian phraseP
Greek to your sense 't is trueQ
But shrug expression gazeP
Well they are Grecian tooQ
-
But it is Art God wotQ
Its tongue to all is knownR
Faith he to whom 't were notQ
Would better hold his ownR
-
Shakespeare says act and wordQ
Must match together trueQ
From what you've seen and heardQ
How can you doubt they doQ
-
Enchanting drama MarkS
The crowd 'from pit to dome'F
One box alone is darkS
The prompter stays at homeF
-
Stupendous artist YouQ
Are lord of joy and woeB
We thrill if you say 'Boo '-
And thrill if you say 'Bo '-
