Note 75 — Chapter V · HOUSES, FURNITURE, ETC.
Reading edition
When Mother Clud[75] had rose from Play, And call'd to take the Cards away; VAN Saw, but seem'd not to regard, How MISS pickt ev'ry Painted Card; And Busie both with Hand and Eye, Soon Rear'd a House two Story high; VAN's Genius without Thought or Lecture, This hugely turn'd to Architecture. He view'd the Edifice, and smil'd, Vow'd it was pretty for a Child; It was so perfect in its Kind, He kept the Model in his Mind.
