On seeing Bufo in the Character of Young Bevil.

A puff'd-up Painter, so says Ancient Story,
Aim'd to pourtray an Angel in full glory;
After much toil bestow'd on what he drew,
A special Devil stood expos'd to view:—
Thus Bufo, in his Portrait of Young Bevil,
Transform'd Steele's Christian Hero to a Devil.
