On Art and Artists(二)

5
ii

    On the great encouragement given by English nobility and

    gentry to Correggio, Rubens, Reynolds, Gainsborough,

    Catalani, Du Crow, and Dilbury Doodle

    As the ignorant savage will sell his own wife

    For a sword, or a cutlass, a dagger, or knife;

    So the taught, savage Englishman, spends his whole fortune

    On a smear, or a squall, to destroy picture or tune;

    And I call upon Colonel Wardle

    To give these rascals a dose of caudle!
