| - | |
| - | |
| Who in this sketchey wonder does not trace | B |
| The fire the spirit and the living grace | B |
| That mark the hand of genius and of taste | C |
| Who does not recognize in such a head | D |
| Truth vigilance fidelity inbred | D |
| Sagacity that's human and a waste | C |
| Of those high qualities and virtues rare | E |
| Which poor humanity has not to spare | E |
| - | |
| Then faithful Hound thy happy lot is cast | F |
| In pleasant places and thy life has pass'd | F |
| In the dear service of a Master whom | G |
| The world's concurrent voice has yielded now | H |
| The meed of highest praise and on whose brow | H |
| Th' imperishable wreath of fame shall bloom | G |
| Nor is this fate less happy than the rest | I |
| That he should paint thee who can paint thee best | I |
