Here is the “finished” portrait and eponymous acrostic of Patrick Stewart. Something was lost in the finishing: freshness/likeness. Something was gained: the words that solved the poeticization.

Here are the words:

Picard is SF, so’s Prof X–he plays ’em nonetheless
And fans of Wm. S. and Sammy B. are by him blest
The savviest of thespians will not go toe to toe
Respectfully they take a pew & watch & learn & grow
Intensity is always there from starring role to extra
Comedic, tragic, bleak to brilliant thwarts the glibbest texter
King Lear, King Faud, King Kong, Candide–he’d be in all parts expert
