| To catch the thought by painting's spell | B |
| Howe'er remote howe'er refined | C |
| And o'er the kindling canvas tell | B |
| The silent story of the mind | C |
| - | |
| O'er nature's form to glance the eye | D |
| And fix by mimic light and shade | E |
| Her morning tinges ere they fly | D |
| Her evening blushes ere they fade | E |

| Yes these are Painting's proudest powers | F |
| The gift by which her art divine | G |
| Above all others proudly towers | F |
| And these oh Prince are richly thine | G |
| - | |
| And yet when Friendship sees thee trace | H |
| In almost living truth exprest | E |
| This bright memorial of a face | H |
| On which her eye delights to rest | E |
| - | |
| While o'er the lovely look serene | I |
| The smile of peace the bloom of youth | J |
| The cheek that blushes to be seen | I |
| The eye that tells the bosom's truth | J |
| - | |
| While o'er each line so brightly true | K |
| Our eyes with lingering pleasure rove | L |
| Blessing the touch whose various hue | K |
| Thus brings to mind the form we love | M |
| - | |
| We feel the magic of thy art | E |
| And own it with a zest a zeal | N |
| A pleasure nearer to the heart | E |
| Than critic taste can ever feel | N |
