AN EXTRACT OUT OF Mr. Scheffer's first Epistle to H*garth, a famous British Painter.
I.
Draw the Sun without a Ray,Rambling by a borrow'd Light,
Tippling till the Dawn of Day,
With a Collier and a Knight:
Paint his Looks, when he was roasted;
Paint the Donna, whom he toasted.
II.
Draw a Cully Chevalier,Near a crafty, wealthy Fox;
Then a Centry-Grenadier,
With a C---tess in his Box.
Shew the Bottle-maker's Gear;
And his Trulla with a P---x.
Paint the Warrior's Arms and Chattles,
And his Bloody-minded Battles.
