from To the Royal Society
Who to the life an exact piece would make
Must not from other's work a copy take,
No, not from Rubens or Vandyke,
Much less content himself to make it like
Th' ideas and the images which lie
In his own fancy, or his memory.
No, he before his sight must place
The natural and living face,
The real object must command
Each judgment of his eye, and motion of his hand.
– Abraham Cowley (1667)
