Written, at the Request of a Gentleman, vnder a Gentlewomans Picture

inglés

Even as Apelles could not paint Campaspes face aright,
Because Campaspes Sun-bright eyes did dimme Apelles sight:
Euen so, amazed at her sight, her sight, all sights excelling,
Like Nyobe the Painter stoode, her sight his sight expelling:
Thus Art and Nature did contend, who should the Victor bee,
Till Art by Nature was supprest, as all the worlde may see.
