On Art and Artists

Sir Joshua praisèd Rubens with a smile

SIR JOSHUA praisèd Rubens with a smile,

By calling his the ornamental style;

And yet his praise of Flaxman was the smartest,

When he called him the ornamental artist.

But sure such ornaments we well may spare

As crooked limbs and lousy heads of hair.
