On the Great Encouragement



==== Edited text: ====

 On the great encouragement given by English nobility and gentry to Correggio, Rubens, Reynolds, Gainsborough, Catalani, Du Crow, and Dilbury Doodle 

AS the ignorant savage will sell his own wife For a sword, or a cutlass, a dagger, or knife; So the taught, savage Englishman, spends his whole fortune On a smear, or a squall, to destroy picture or tune; And I call upon Colonel Wardle To give these rascals a dose of caudle! ________________________________________
