ON DRAWINGS OF THE STATUES OF APOLLO, VENUS, AND HERCULES

MADE FOR POPE BY SIR GODFREY KNELLER

These drawings were made for the adornment of Pope’s house at Twickenham.

  • What god, what genius did the pencil move,
  • When Kneller painted these?
  • ’T was friendship, warm as Phœbus, kind as Love,
  • And strong as Hercules.
