When I see a Rubens, Rembrandt, Correggio

When I see a Rubens, Rembrandt, Correggio,
I think of the Crippled Harry and Slobbering Joe;
And then I question thus: Are artists' rules
To be drawn from the works of two manifest fools?

Then God defend us from the Arts I say!
Send Battle, Murder, sudden death, O pray!
Rather than be such a blind Human Fool
I'd be an Ass, a Hog, a Worm, a Chair, a Stool!
