When going on a journey used his art,

To paint an ASS upon a certain part,

(Umbilical, 'tis said) and like a seal:

Impressive token, nothing thence to steal.

A BROTHER brush, enamoured of the dame;

Now took advantage, and declared his flame:

The Ass effaced, but God knows how 'twas done;

Another soon howe'er he had begun,

And finished well, upon the very spot;

In painting, few more praises ever got;
