The Virtuoso is a Lover Of coyer charms in " UNCUT COPIES. " THIRD MAXIM. Who, swearing not a line to miss, Doats on the leaf his fingers kiss, Thanking the Words for all his bliss, Shall rue, at last, his passion frustrate : We love the page that draws its flavour From Draftsman, Etcher, and Engraver, And hint the Booby (by his favour) His gloomy " Copy" to " ILLUSTRATE. " 1 34 Book- Verse. FOURTH MAXIM. Who in all Copies finds delight The wrong not scenting from the right And, with a choicele...ss appetite, Just comes to feed, . . . Like Soph, or Templar, - Out on his iron stomach ! We Have rarities we merely see, Nor taste our Phcenix, though it be . . '. Serv'd up in the " UNIQUE EXEMPLAR. " FIFTH MAXIM. Who blindly take the Book display'd By Pettifoggers in the Trade, Nor ask of what the leaf was made, That seems like Paper, I can tell 'em, That though 'tis possible to squint Through any page with letters in't, No Copy, though an Angel print, Reads elegantly but " on VELLUM. " SIXTH MAXIM.
