Not illustrated. 1842 Excerpt: ... is heard; And whatsoever task's assign'd, Perform it with a willing mind. You that in writing would excel, First imitate your copies well: Down strokes make strong, and ujnyard fine, And boldness with your freedom join. If by luxuriant fancy bent, You aim at curious ornament, Your plastic pen, by frequent use, May fishes, beasts, and birds produce: But chiefly strive to gain a hand For business, with a just command.
