[Faith points to viewless wonders all inherit]
[Doth Music tickle ear, and that's the whole?]
[Out of this hard and thin life]
[How should Oratory give]
[With pen and with pencil we're learning to say]
[Painters, Composers, can make use no doubt]
[How rotten the Art is that works for display!]
[Artist, your business is with surface: true.]

[There's plenty of credit in life at first]
There's
plenty of credit in life at first,
But all must be paid for, that's the worst.
The worst?—nay rather call it the best;
“Was this world,” said the Arab, “created in jest?”
