Theobald wrote it; that is sure.
But what matters is before:
Do his changes still immure
Shakespeare? Is there something more
Than the eighteenth-century
Could invent itself? Is there
Something in the text to see
That rewards our constant care?
Is it even Fletcher's work
(As once Moseley registered),
Or is Theobald just a jerk
(Something no one finds absurd)?
Every hundred years or so
Some say yes, but most say no.
