To the Reader
(after Ben Jonson, 1623) This Photo, in its setting trapp'd, It was of Brian duly snapp'd: Sore preft its Taker was to ply Her Thumb, before the grin could fly: O,could she but haue caught his mood As well on film, as she imbued His face ; the Print might then haue soul, And not looke quite so flat and dull. But, fince such grace it can not learn Read on, and Grant the Text a turn. B. K. |
