| Whilst his Redeemer on his canvass dies | B |
| Stabb'd at his feet his brother weltering lies | B |
| The daring artist cruelly serene | C |
| Views the pale cheek and the distorted mien | C |
| He drains off life by drops and deaf to cries | B |
| Examines every spirit as it flies | B |
| He studies torment dives in mortal woe | D |
| To rouse up every pang repeats his blow | D |
| Each rising agony each dreadful grace | E |
| Yet warm transplanting to his Saviour's face | E |
| Oh glorious theft oh nobly wicked draught | F |
| With its full charge of death each feature fraught | G |
| Such wondrous force the magic colours boast | H |
| From his own skill he starts in horror lost | I |

| Though the report was propagated without the least truth it may be sufficient ground to justify a poetical fancy's enlarging on it | J |
