Reading edition
On this print, which he called Finis, and represents the destruction of all things, the following epigram, ascribed to Charles Churchill the poet, and said to have been written by him when at Mr. Dell's, in Kew-foot-lane, April 18, 1764, is printed from The Muse's Mirrour, vol. I. p. 8.
On Hogarth's print of the Bathos, or the Art of Sinking in Painting. All must old Hogarth's gratitude declare, Since he has nam'd old Chaos for his heir; And while his works hang round that Anarch's throne, The connoisseurs will take them for his own.
