From the mingled strength of shade and light
A new creation rises to my sight,
Such heav'nly figures from his pencil flow,
So warm with light his blended colors glow.

Home to our hearts the truth from which they spring.

Or paint the full-orb'd ruler of the skies
With pencils dipt in dull terrestrial dyes.
