4 Upon the same Reason we are marvellously Delighted with lively Imitation, as with those1 Arts which do curiously express the works and lineaments of Nature. Insomuch that the similitudes of those things do wonderfully content us whose natural Deformities we abhor. We are well pleased with Homers Description2 of Thersites, and with Sophocles his expression of the Ulcer of Philoctetes▪ with Parmeno his Imitation of the grunting of a Hog, and Theodor•u 3his of the rattling of wheels, with Plautus his description of a chargeable Wise, and Horace his of a garrulous companion, though the things themselves we should willingly decline.
