Tis flesh itself! exelaim d a Critic.
But why make Daniel paralytic ?
His limbs and features are distorted, And then his legs are badly sorted.
3 Tis true, a miracle you ve hit, But not as told in Holy Writ ; For there the miracle was braving, With bones unbroke, the Lion s craving; But yours (what ne er could man befall) That he should live with none at alL And pray, inquir d another spectre, What Mufti s that at pious lecture?
That s Socrates, condemn d to die 5 He next, in sable, standing by..., 77 Is Galen, * come to save his friend, If possible, from such an end ; The other figures, group d around, His Scholars, wrapt in wo profound.
And am I like to this portray d?
Exclaim d the Sage s smiling Shade.
Good Sir, I never knew before That I a Turkish turban wore, Or mantle hemm d with golden stitches, Much less a pair of satin breeches 5 But as for him in sable clad, Though wond rous kind, twas rather inad To visit one like me forlorn, So long before himself was born. - * To those who are conversant with the Works of the Old Masters, this piece of anachronism will hardly appear exaggerated.
