WHEN Burbadge played, the stage was bare               #45
            Of fount and temple, tower and stair;
                  Two backswords eked a battle out;
                  Two supers made a rabble rout;
            The throne of Denmark was a chair!

            And yet, no less, the audience there
            Thrilled, through all changes of Despair,
                  Hope, Anger, Fear, Delight, and Doubt
                      When Burbadge played!

            This is the Actor's gift: to share
            All moods, all passions, nor to care
                  One whit for scene, so he without
                  Can lead men's minds the roundabout
            Stirred as of old those hearers were,
                      When Burbadge played!
