What, doth he fall to shuffling 'mid his sheets,

Fumbling for first this, then the other fact

Consigned to paper,—"studies," bear the term!—

And stretch a canvas, mix a pot of paste,

And fasten here a head and there a tail,

(The ass hath one, my Judges!) so dove-tail

Or, rather, ass-tail in, piece sorrily out—

By bits of reproduction of the life—

The picture, the expected Family?

I trow not! do I miss with my conceit
