“But hear me, Richard: looking to my ease,
Try if you can find something that will please. 50
Faults if you see, and such as must abide,
Say they are small, or say that I can hide;
But faults that I can change, remove, or mend,
These like a foe detect—or like a friend.
“Mark well the rooms, and their proportions learn;
In each some use, some elegance discern;
Observe the garden, its productive wall,
And find a something to commend in all.
