Read it through once

The Scenes of _Ophelia's_ Madness are to me very shocking, in so noble a Piece as this. I am not against her having been represented mad; but surely, it might have been done with less Levity and more Decency. Mistakes are less tolerable from such a Genius as _Shakespeare's_ and especially in the very Pieces which give us such strong Proofs of his exalted Capacity. Mr. _Warburton's_ Note (in Mr. _Theobalds_) on _Laertes's_ Rebellion, is very judicious, (as indeed are all those of that Gentleman) only I cannot think _Laertes_ (for the Reasons I have given) a good Character.
