To His Nephew, To Be Prosperous In His Art Of Painting.

By Robert Herrick

On, as thou hast begun, brave youth, and get The palm from Urbin, Titian, Tintoret, Brugel and Coxu, and the works outdo Of Holbein and that mighty Rubens too. So draw and paint as none may do the like, No, not the glory of the world, Vandyke.
