Marinda | ||
On the Invention of Letters.
From Brebeuf.
The Noble Art from Cadmus took its riseOf painting Words, and speaking to the Eyes:
He first in wondrous Magick Fetters bound
The Airy Voice, and stopt the flying Sound:
The various Figures by his Pencil wrought,
Gave Colour, and a Body to the Thought.
