Poet.
I'me noble Poetrie, and what are you?

Limbner.
I am the nobler Science of the two.

Poet.
The nobler Science, tell me how? I can
Write any thing of men.

Limb.
I make the man.

Poet.
I write of Courts, of Princes, and high things.

Limbner.
I draw the lively Portraiture of Kings.

Poet.
I shew the very mind of men in books.

Limbner.
'Tis true, but I do shew their mind in looks.

Poet.
I am wits High-priest for I can inspire.
All those that read my works with sacred fire.

Limbner.
And I can boast my skill is from above,
For thousands seeing of my Pieces, love.

Poet.
I'me alwaies read with wonder and delight.

Limbner.
I know you charm the ear; I charm the sight.

Poet.
Your Art is to be learned, many do it;
There's none can be Apprentise to a Poet.

Limbner.
I must confess you are ingenuous:

But what are Poets, if compar'd to us.

Poet.
That you are noble souls, all say as much,
But you are poor.

Limb.
Were ever Poets rich?

Poet.
I treat of souls of men, you but of faces.
I'me kin unto the Muses.

Limb.
I to th'Graces.

Poet.
I make men live to perpetuity.

Limbner.
I make them live as long by similie.

Poet.

VVell, when your dead I'le write an Eligie,
And set it on your Hearse; thus it shall be,

Here lies Arts-master, whose lov'd-name shall stand,
Writ in gold Letters by a Poet's hand,
In Great Apollo's Temple, there to be
In the next place to lofty Poetrie.

Limbner.
And if you die before me, to be sure
Your name shall alwaies live by Portraiture.
