Here Reynolds is laid, and to tell you my mind,

He has not left a wiser or better behind:

His pencil was striking, resistless, and grand:

His manners were gentle, complying, and bland;

Still born to improve us in every part,

His pencil our faces, his manners our heart:

To coxcombs averse, yet most civilly steering,

When they judged without skill he was still hard of hearing:

When they talk'd of their Raphaels, Correggios, and stuff,

He shifted his trumpet, and only took snuff.
