excellent_a a_o poet_n and_o so_o great_a a_o judge_n

not_o proper_o speak_v a_o part_n of_o the_o main_a action_n but_o virgil_n conclude_v with_o the_o death_n of_o turnus_n sor_n after_o that_o difficulty_n be_v remove_v aeneas_n may_v marry_v and_o establish_v the_o trojan_n when_o he_o please_v this_o rule_n i_o have_v before_o my_o eye_n in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o spanish_a friar_n when_o the_o discovery_n be_v make_v that_o the_o

any_o thing_n for_o myself_o but_o anthony_n and_o cleopatra_n this_o remark_n i_o must_v acknowledge_v be_v not_o so_o proper_a for_o the_o colour_v as_o the_o design_n but_o it_o will_v hold_v for_o both_o as_o the_o word_n etc._n etc._n be_v evident_o show_v to_o be_v the_o clothing_n of_o the_o thought_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n as_o colour_n be_v the_o clothing_n of_o the_o design_n so_o the_o painter_n and_o the_o poet_n ought_v to_o judge_v exact_o when_o the_o colour_v and_o expression_n be_v perfect_a and_o then_o to_o think_v their_o work_n be_v true_o finish_v apelles_n say_v of_o protogenes_n that_o he_o know_v not_o when_o to_o give_v over_o a_o work_n may_v be_v overwrought_a as_o well_o as_o under-wrought_a too_o much_o labour_n often_o take_v away_o the_o spirit_n

for_o myself_o that_o the_o rest_n be_v leave_v to_o the_o imagination_n let_v some_o better_a artist_n provide_v himself_o of_o a_o deep_a canvas_n and_o take_v these_o hint_n which_o i_o have_v give_v set_v the_o figure_n on_o its_o leg_n and_o finish_v it_o in_o the_o invention_n design_n and_o colour_v the_o preface_n of_o the_o french_a author_n among_o all_o the_o beautiful_a and_o

who_o value_v themselves_o on_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o either_o because_o they_o keep_v company_n with_o painter_n or_o that_o they_o have_v see_v good_a piece_n or_o last_o because_o their_o

impossible_a for_o they_o to_o describe_v in_o what_o consist_v the_o beauty_n of_o those_o work_n which_o they_o admire_v or_o the_o fault_n which_o be_v in_o the_o great_a part_n of_o those_o which_o they_o condemn_v and_o true_o it_o be_v not_o hard_a to_o find_v that_o this_o proceed_v from_o no_o other_o cause_n than_o that_o they_o be_v not_o furnish_v with_o rule_n by_o which_o to_o

i_o think_v it_o superfluous_a to_o prove_v that_o this_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o paint_v it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o paint_v be_v acknowledge_v for_o a_o art_n for_o that_o
