Swelld limbs with no outline that you can descry

[On the school of Rubens]
SWELLED limbs, with no outline that you can descry,
That stink in the nose of a stander-by;
But all the pulp-wash’d, painted, finish’d with labour,
Of an hundred journeymen’s—how-d’ye do neighbour?

Swelld limbs with no outline that you can descry
That Stink in the Nose of a Stander by
But all the Pulp washd painted finishd with labour
Of an hundred journeymens how dye do Neighbour
