’If in a picture, Piso, you should see
A handsome woman with a fish’s tail,
Or a man’s head upon a horse’s neck,
Or limbs of beasts, of the most different kinds,
Cover’d with feathers of all sorts of birds;
Would you not laugh, and think the painter mad? 
Trust me that book is as ridiculous,
Whose incoherent style, like sick men’s dreams,
Varies all shapes, and mixes all extremes.’

  ’Behold a ripe and melting maid
  Bound ’prentice to the wanton trade: 
  Ionian artists, at a mighty price,
  Instruct her in the mysteries of vice,
  What nets to spread, where subtle baits to lay;
  And with an early hand they form the temper’d clay.’
