Mary Barber - To Mrs. Newans

Mary Barber - To Mrs. Newans

You say 'tis hard to copy well, br Where Nature does herself excel. br Allow'd -- yet still let me advise: br Near as you can, to Nature rise; br Nor Time, nor Colours will be lost; br The Draught will more than pay the Cost. br Then dare to draw that Angel Face; br The Pencil may the Features trace; br And, should her Air thy Art defeat, br Add Wings, the Piece will be complete.
