The fculptur'd reliques of her fkill furvey, 

 Mufe on by night, and imitate by day ; 

 No reft, no paufe till, all her graces known, 725 

 A happy habit makes each grace your own. 



As years advance, to modem mafters come, 

 Gaze on their glories in majeftic ROME ; 

 Admire the proud productions of their fkill 

 Which VENICE, PARMA, and BOLOGNA fill ; 730 

 And, rightly led by our preceptive lore, 

 Their ftyle, their coloring, part by part, explore. 

 See RAPHAEL there his forms celeftial trace, 

 Unrivall'd Sovereign of the realms of Grace. 



Nee mora, nee requies, noctuque diuque labor!, 

 Jlloruin menti atque modo, vos donee agendi 

 Praxis ab affiduo faciles aflueverit ufu. 



Mox, ubi judicium emends adoleverit annis, 

 Singula, quae celebrant primae exemplaria clam's 515 



Romani, Veneti, Parmenfes, atque Bononi, 

 Partibus in cundtis pedetentim, atque ordine redto, 

 Ut monitum fupra eft, vos expendifle juvabit. 



Hos apud invenit Raphael miracula fummo 

 Du&a modo, Venerefque habuit quas nemo deinceps. 520
