In Sigismund the mind no want supplies,
The painter trusts his genius to your eyes;
Passion's warm tints beneath his pencil glow,
And from the canvas starts the living woe.
At length be just—throw prejudice aside;
The modern shows—what the Greek could but hide.
Then from the ancient take the palm away,
And crown the greatest Artist of his day."
—Howard.
