So ftrongly near, fo foftly diftant throw 395 



On all thy rounded groups the circling glow. 



As is the Sculptor's fiich the Painter's aim, ' *V*> *v> * 



Their labor different, but their end the -fame; 

 What from the marble the rude chiffel breaks 

 The fofter pencil from the canvas takes, 400 



And, fkill'd remoter diftances to keep, 

 Surrounds the outline pale in fhadows deep : 

 While on the front the fparkling luftre plays, 

 And meets the eye in full meridian blaze. 

 True Coloring thus in plaftic power excells, 405 

 Fair to the vifual point her forms flie fwells, 



Corporibus dabimus formas hoc more rotundas. 293

 Difpofitum tradtabit opus ; quas fculptor in orbem 

 Atterit, haec rupto procul abfcedente colore 

 AfTequitur pictor, fugientiaque ilia retrorfum 

 Jam ilgnata minus confufa coloribus aufert: 

 Anteriora quidem dired:e adverfa, colore 

 Integra vivaci, fummo cum lumine & umbra 

 Antrorfum diilindla refert, velut afpera vifu j 

 Sicque fuper planum inducit leucoma colores,
