SKETCHES IN THE EXHIBITION, 1805.

By William Lisle Bowles

What various objects strike with various force,

Achilles, Hebe, and Sir Watkin's horse!

Here summer scenes, there Pentland's stormy ridge,

Lords, ladies, Noah's ark, and Cranford bridge!

Some that display the elegant design,

The lucid colours, and the flowing line;

Some that might make, alas! Walsh Porterstare,

And wonder how the devil they got there!
