,86 APPENDIX. 



How oft review ; each finding, like a friend, 

 Something to blame, and fomething to commend ? 



What flatt'ring fcenes our wand'ring fancy wrought* 

 Rome's pompous glories rifing to our thought ! 

 Together o'er the Alps methinks we fly,. 

 Fir'd with ideas of fair Italy. 

 With thee, on Raphael's monument I mourn,. 

 Or wait infpiring dreams at Maro's urn : 

 With thee repofe, where Tully once was laid^ 

 Or leek fome ruin's formidable made ; 

 While Fancy brings the vaniih'd pile to view, 

 And builds imaginary Rome anew. 

 Here thy well-ftudy'd marbles fix our eye ; 

 A fading frefco here demands a iigh : 

 Each heavenly piece unwearied we compare, 

 Match Raphael's Grace with thy lov'd Guido's Air, 

 Caracci's Strength, Coreggio a s fofter Line, 

 Paulo's free Stroke, and Titian's Warmth divine. 



How finim'd with illuftrious toil appears 

 This final], well-polifh'd gem, the work of years ! * 

 Yet {till how faint by precept is expreft 

 The living image in the Painter's breaft ? 

 Thence endlefs flreams of fair ideas flow, 

 Strike in the fketch, or in the picture glow; 

 Thence Beauty, waking all her forms, fupplies 

 An Angel's fweetnefs, or Bridgwater's eyes. 



Mufe! at that name thy facred forrows (lied, 

 I Thofe tears eternal that embalm the dead :
