The Poetical Works of the Right Hon. George Granville, Lord Lansdowne/5

by George Granville

ON THE QUEEN’S PICTURE,
GIVEN IN EXCHANGE FOR ANOTHER.

Of the rude Indians, artleſs and untaught,
So brighteſt jewels are with trifles bought:
Deceiv’d Ixion’s fate revers’d is ſhow’d,
Imperial Juno giv’n for a cloud.4
