William Cowper - Sonnet To George Romney, Esq. On His Picture Of Me In Crayons

Romney, expert infallibly to trace br On chart of canvas, not the form alone br And semblance, but, however faintly shown, br The mind's impression too on every face; br With strokes that time ought never to cease br Thou hast so pencilled mine, that though I own br The subject worthless, I have never known br The artist shining with superior grace. br But this I mark, -- that symptoms none of woe br In thy incomparable work appear.
