    Sir Jo[s]hua praised Rubens with a Smile

    By Calling his the ornamental Style

    And yet his praise of Flaxman was the smartest

    When he calld him the Ornamental Artist

    But sure such ornaments we well may spare 5

    As Crooked limbs & louzy heads of hair

    But Twould be Madness all the World would say

    Should Michael Angelo praise Sir Joshuat

    Christ usd the Pharisees in a rougher way 5
