[ON] A DRAWING, BY THE HON. MRS SMITH (ELIZA FORRESTER).
When we behold a Landscape well designed,
Our praise at once we on the Work bestow;
We see the image of so just a Mind,
And ’tis the Merit, not the Man, we know.
But when we learn from where our Pleasure springs,
And whose the Skill that here the Proof has placed:
This to our Mind a double Pleasure brings,
For ’tis Affection looks as well as Taste.
They who have Wealth may hire an Artist’s Hand.
