A Strange Erratum in all the Editions

by William Blake 1757–1827

From The Rossetti Manuscript (c. 1793–1818)

Arts & Sciences

A Strange Erratum in all the Editions
Of Sir Joshua Reynolds' Lectures
Should be corrected by the Young Gentlemen
And the Royal Academy's Directors.

Instead of 'Michael Angelo,'
Read 'Rembrandt'; for it is fit
To make mere common honesty
In all that he has writ.
