On Art and Artists

You say their pictures well painted be

YOU say their pictures well painted be,

And yet they are blockheads you all agree:

Thank God! I never was sent to school

To be flogg’d into following the style of a fool.

The errors of a wise man make your rule,

Rather than the perfections of a fool.
