Epigram 4: A Skilfull Painter such rare pictures drew

A Skilfull Painter such rare pictures drew,
That euery man his workmanship admird:
So neere the life, in beauty, forme, and hue,
As if dead Art, gainst Nature had conspirde.
Painter saies one, thy wife's a pretty woman,
I muse such ill shapt Children thou hast got,
Yet makest such Pictures as their like makes no man,
I prethee tell the cause of this thy lot?
Quoth he, I paint by day when it is light,
And get my Children in the darke at night.
