ON SIR GODFREY KNELLER
IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY, 1723
- Kneller, by Heav’n, and not a master, taught,
- Whose Art was Nature, and whose pictures thought;
- Now for two ages having snatch’d from fate
- Whate’er was beauteous, or whate’er was great,
- Lies crown’d with Princes’ honours, Poets’ lays,
- Due to his Merit and brave thirst of Praise.
- Living, great Nature fear’d he might outvie
- Her works; and, dying, fears herself may die.
