[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.]

Blackberries
[If you believed, loud Sir, some decent part]
If
you believed, loud Sir, some decent part
Of all you argue for with so much art,
You would not more convince that black is white,
But wake some interest and respect you might.
