On Art and Artists

When you look at a picture, you always can see

WHEN you look at a picture, you always can see

If a man of sense has painted he.

Then never flinch, but keep up a jaw

About freedom, and ‘Jenny sink awa’.’

As when it smells of the lamp, we can

Say all was owing to the skilful man;

For the smell of water is but small:

So e’en let ignorance do it all.
