But before your own picture arrives at that pitch,

While the lights are still light, and the shadows, though rich,

More transparent than ebony shutters,

Never minding what Black-Arted critics may say,

Stop the biting, and pour the green fluid away,

As you please, into bottles or gutters.

Then removing the ground and the wax at a heat,

Cleanse the surface with oil, spermaceti or sweet,

For your hand a performance scarce proper —

So some careful professional person secure —

For the Laundress will not be a safe amateur —

To assist you in cleaning the copper.
