On Art and Artists

The cripple every step drudges and labours

THE CRIPPLE every step drudges and labours,

And says: ‘Come, learn to walk of me, good neighbours.’

Sir Joshua in astonishment cries out:

‘See, what great labour! pain in modest doubt!

‘He walks and stumbles as if he crep,

And how high labour’d is every step!’

Newton and Bacon cry ‘Being badly nurst,

He is all experiments from last to first.’
