[As the sequacious Wax with Ease receives]
As the sequacious Wax with Ease receivesWhatever Shape th'informing Artist gives:
Now represents the furious God of War,
Or in Minerva's Likeness does appear.
301
Or wanton Cupid sporting in her Arms.
As murm'ring Rivers, with their Chrystal Streams,
Not only serve to quench th'aspiring Flames;
But in belov'd Meanders, as they flow
On Fields and Flowers, fresh Beauties do bestow:
So should the Mind with early Care be wrought,
And fashion'd for the diff'rent Turns of Thought.
One Art alone too dull a Chase does yield:
Your active Sportsman ranges all the Field.
