A FLOWER, Painted by SIMON VARELST.
When fam'd Varelst this little Wonder drew;Flora vouchsaf'd the growing Work to view:
Finding the Painter's Science at a Stand,
The Goddess snatch'd the Pencil from his Hand;
And finishing the Piece, She smiling said;
Behold One Work of Mine, that ne'er shall fade.
