[Art redily began a breeding tryall]

Adryan Gilbert, Anagrams. Art redily began A breeding tryall.

Art redily began a breeding tryall,
VVhen she inspir'd this worthy Gentleman:
For Natures eye, of him tooke full espiall,
And taught him Art, Art readily began,
That though Dame Nature was his Tutresse, he,
Outworkes her, as his workes apparent be.
For Nature brings but earth, and seeds and plants,
Which Art, like Taylors, cuts and puts in fashion:
As Nature rudely doth supply our wants,
Art is deformed Natures reformation.
So Adryan Gilbert mendeth Natures features
By Art, that what shee makes, doth seeme his creatures.
