_Philips_, hewrites thus; For they imperfect Trophies to you raise, You deserve Wonder, and they pay but Praise; A Praise which is as short of your great due. As all which yet have writ come short of you. Again, In Pictures none hereafter will delight, You draw more to the Life in black and white; The Pencil to your Pen must yield the Place, This draws the Soul, where that draws but the Face. But having thank’d these noble Lords for their Suffrage, we will proceedto some other Witnesses of Qual...ity: And first I beg leave to appeal tomy Lord Duke of _Buckinghamshire_, his Translation of _The Temple ofDeath_; Her Chains were Marks of Honour to the Brave, She made a Prince when e’er she made a Slave.

My Lord _Hallifax_’s Muse hath been very indulgent to _Monosyllables_, and no Son of _Apollo_ will dare to dispute his Authority in thisMatter. Speaking of the Death of King _Charles_ the Second, and hisImprovement of Navigation, and Shipping; he says, To ev’ry Coast, with ready Sails are hurl’d, Fill us with Wealth, and with our Fame the World.
