Bright, beyond all the reft, CORREGGIO flings 

 His ample Lights, and round them gently brings 

 The mingling fliade. In all his works we view 

 Grandeur of ftyle, and chaftity of hue. 750 



Yet higher ftill great TITIAN dar'd to foar, 

 He reach'd the loftieft heights of coloring's power ;, 

 His friendly tints in happieft mixture flow, 

 His fliades and lights their juft gradations know,. 

 He knew thofe dear deluflons of the art, 75,5 

 That round, relieve, infpirit ev'ry part ^ 

 Hence deem'd divine, the world his merit own'd, 

 With riches loaded, and with honors crown'd* 



Clarior ante alios Corregius extitit, ampfa 

 Luce fuperfufa, circum coeuntibus umbris, 530 



Pingendique modo grandi, & tra&ando colore 

 Corpora. Amicitiamque, gradufque, dolofque colorum, 

 Compagemque ita difpofuit < Tttiamis y ut inde 

 DJVUS fit didus, magnis et honoribus au&us,.
