Sweet mimick art! Which to our ravish’d eyes,

From a few blended colours, and the aid

Of attemper’d light and shade,

Bid’st a new creation rise---

Oh! to this song of tributary praise,

Which Poetry thy sister art

Now with friendly homage pays,

Could I contrive thy beauties to impart!

With my easy flowing line

10 To unite correctness of design,

And make a Titian’s colouring conspire

With Raphael’s grace, and Buanoroti’s fire---
