UPON THE CURTAIN OF LUCASTA'S PICTURE IT WAS THUS WROUGHT, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Oh stay that covetous hand, first turn all eye
Last Line: Is but its shadow, as this its;---now draw.
Subject(s): Art & Artists; Paintings & Painters


OH stay that covetous hand; first turn all eye,
All depth and mind; then mystically spy
Her soul's fair picture, her fair soul's, in all
So truly copi'd from th' original,
That you will swear her body by this law
Is but its shadow, as this its;---now draw.
