161. Epigram Addressed to an Artist

 DEAR ———, I’ll gie ye some advice,
 You’ll tak it no uncivil:
You shouldna paint at angels mair,
 But try and paint the devil.



To paint an Angel’s kittle wark,
 Wi’ Nick, there’s little danger:
You’ll easy draw a lang-kent face,
 But no sae weel a stranger.
—R.
