Poesy, therefore, is an art of imitation, for so Aristotle termeth it in this word mimesis, that is to say, a representing, counterfeiting, or figuring forth, to speak metaphorically. A speaking picture, with this end—to teach and delight.

Only the poet, dsdnng 2 b tied 2 any such sbjctn, lifted up w/ z vigor of his own invntion, doth grw in effect another nature in making things either better than nature bringeth/, or quite anew, forms such as never were in nature, as the heroes, /, Furies, & such like.
So as he goeth hand in hand w/ nature, not enclosed within the narrow warrant of her gifts, but freely ranging only within the zodiac of his own wit.
