    English Encouragement of Art：

    Cromek's opinions put into rhyme

    If you mean to please everybody you will

    Set to work both ignorance and skill.

    For a great multitude are ignorant，

    And skill to them seems raving2 and rant1.

    Like putting oil and water in a lamp，

    'Twill make a great splutter with smoke and damp.

    For there is no use as it seems to me

    Of lighting3 a lamp， when you don't wish to see.
