By sturdy Chine of Beef, and mighty Jove;
I do conjure thy gravity, let me see
140 The man that made thee this Discovery;
For he that sees th' Original's more happy
Than him that draws by an ill-favour'd Copy.
O bring me to the man I so admire!
The Flint from whence brake forth these sparks of fire.
What satisfaction would the Vision bring?
If sweet the stream, much sweeter is the spring.
