Each nobler fymbol claffic Sages ufe 

 To mark a Virtue, or adorn a Mufe,

Nor load with gems, nor lace with tawdry gold ; 

 Rare things alone are dear in Cuftom's eye, 

 They lofe their value as they multiply. 



Of abfent forms the features to define, 

 Prepare a model to direcl thy line ; 

 Each garb, each cuftom, with precision trace, 

 Unite in ftricl: decorum time with place ; 

 And emulous alone of genuine fame, 

 Be Grace, be Majefty thy conftant aim,

Nobilia arma juvant Virtutum ornantque figuras, 

 Qualia Mufarum, Belli, cultufque Deorum. 

 Nee fit opus nimium gemmis auroque refertum ; 

 Kara etenim magno in pretio, fed plurima vili. 



Qua? deinde ex vero nequeant prxfente videri, 

 Prototypum prius illorum formare juvabit. 



Conveniat locus, atque habitus ; ritufque decufque 

 Servetur : Sit nobilitas, Charitumque venuftas,
