“Good name in man and woman, dear my lord,
Is the immediate jewel
of their souls:
Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing;
'Twas mine, 'tis his, and
has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches
from me my good name
Robs me of that which
not enriches him
And makes me poor indeed.”
— Othello |

Ben Jonson, friend and rival of William Shakespeare, called the portrait “true to life” and authored a poem in the dedication of the First Folio - “To the memory of my beloved, The AUTHOR, Mr. William Shakespeare: And what he hath left us”.
Ben Jonson said of William Shakespeare at his death, “He was not of an age, but for all time.”
