To Take Up Half On

Virgil And Horace [were] The Severest Writers Of The Severest Age.

They First Condemn That First Advised The Ill.

For Art May Err, But Nature Cannot Miss.

A Brave Man Scorns To Quarrel Once A Day; Like Hectors In At Every Petty Fray.

Since A True Knowledge Of Nature Gives Us Pleasure, A Lively Imitation Of It, Either In Poetry Or Painting, Must Produce A Much Greater; For Both These Arts Are Not Only True Imitations Of Nature, But Of The Best Nature.
