Where Strength, and Art, and Nature should combine:

The mimick Architect perhaps would be }

As much to seek in his Design; as HE

Whose only Talent was, to paint a Tree.

With such gay Structures, why do they begin

Such Glare of Ornament to usher in?

Why such external needless Dress and Show?

The End impropriate, and the Meaning low.

Form to each Clime, each Place, a Modus still;

But use the same Proportions at your Will.
