ON THE PICTURE OF THE AUTHOR, MR. SANDERSON by THOMAS FLATMAN

First Line: LET OTHERS STYLE THIS PAGE A CHRONICLE
Last Line: THE HEAD IS SANDERSON'S, FATHERN'S THE HAND.
Subject(s): PORTRAITS;

LET others style this page a chronicle;
Others Art's mystery; let a third sort dwell
Upon the curious neat artifice, and swear
The sun ne'er saw a shadow half so rare.
He outsays all who lets you understand
The head is Sanderson's, Fathern's the hand.
