" Noneget Mauri jaculis, ncque arcu, Nee venenatis gravida sagittis, Fusee, pharetra, " 187 ' Patricians shun, a safer province thine, Assuage mankind, give feelings to the fool ; Storm not the citadel, but undermine Some yield to reason, some to ridicule. ' Call Hogarth's shade, that friend to virtue's cause. Invoke his Genius, which survives the tomb ; Hell aid thy views, whose moral pencil draws, Progressive cruelty's sad final doom. 1 Through counties, villages, and populous towns, With mag...ic conjure at the public cost, His pictured stages for unconscious clowns, Most obvious each a sign or finger-post. ' With Hogarth's rhymes, and with his graphic horse, Or suff'ring lamb, to catch the heart and eye ; That he who reads may feel its double force This, more than law, would check barbarity. 188 ' Wider than fear, shame spreads its influence ; E'en babes while listening would imbibe the tale ; The pencil and the pen would join defence, And both succeed, where sep'rate each might fail.
