Lerolle a Flight to Egypt has essay'd

Lerolle a Flight to Egypt has essay'd,
And does his best the subject to degrade.
The girls who pose as angels in the sky
Reveal the value of this tradesman's eye;
Feeble in colour, false to art and fact,
They fit, in black-and-white, " a moral tract"
Such as fond parents give to little boys
To make them weep and blight their youthful joys.
