On Lady Bridgwater's Picture,
By Mr. JERVAS. 1713.
Such flowing Lines, and such a lovely Saint!So might a Raphael a Cecilia paint.
Almost the Eye imposes on the Ear;
Her Fingers seem to move, and we to hear:
While two young Angel Forms stand list'ning by;
And wait with upward Eyes her Harmony.
No Strength of Fancy, no Success of Art,
O Jervas! this Idea cou'd impart:
Thy Pencil other Beauties may command,
But Churchill's Eyes instruct the Master's Hand.
