William Blake (1757–1827). The Poetical Works. 1908.

On Art and Artists

To the Royal Academy

XVIII
A STRANGE erratum in all the editions

Of Sir Joshua Reynolds’ lectures

Should be corrected by the young gentlemen

And the Royal Academy’s directors.

Instead of ‘Michael Angelo,’

Read ‘Rembrandt’; for it is fit

To make mere common honesty

In all that he has writ.
