FAREWELL, great painter of mankind, | |
| Who reached the noblest point of art: | |
| Whose pictured morals charm the mind, | |
| And through the eye correct the heart! | |
| |
| If genius fire thee, reader stay; | 5 |
| If nature touch thee, drop a tear; | |
| If neither move thee, turn away, | |
| For Hogarth’s honoured dust lies here. | | | |
