On Art and Artists(二)

分类: 英语诗歌 
ii

    On the great encouragement given by English nobility and

    gentry to Correggio, Rubens, Reynolds, Gainsborough,

    Catalani, Du Crow, and Dilbury Doodle

    As the ignorant savage will sell his own wife

    For a sword, or a cutlass, a dagger, or knife;

    So the taught, savage Englishman, spends his whole fortune

    On a smear, or a squall, to destroy picture or tune;

    And I call upon Colonel Wardle

    To give these rascals a dose of caudle!
