ON THE GREAT ENCOURAGEMENT
GIVEN BY ENGLISH NOBILITY & GENTRY
TO CORREGGIO RUBENS REMBRANDT
REYNOLDS GAINSBOROUGH CATALANI
DUCROWE & DILBURY DOODLE

As the Ignorant Savage will sell his own Wife
For a [Button a (Bauble) Buckle a Bead or] Sword or a Cutlass a dagger or Knife
So the [wise/Learned] Taught Savage Englishman [gives] spends his whole Fortune
[For] On a smear or a squall [that is not] to destroy Picture [nor] or Tune
And I call upon Colonel Wardle
To give these Rascals a dose of Cawdle
