Samuel Johnson - On Seeing a Bust of Mrs. Montague
Work rating: Low

Had this fair figure, which this frame displays,
Adorn`d in Roman time the brightest days,
In every dome, in every sacred place,
Her statue would have breathed an added grace,
And on its basis would have been enroll`d,
"This is Minerva, cast in Virtue`s mould."
