ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

<em>The answers are in bold and underlined.</em>

Here, take my Likeness with you, whilst 'tis so;

When from your well-wrought Cabinet you take it,

And your bright looks awake it;

Ah be not frighted, if you see, (15)

The new-soul'd Picture gaze on Thee,

And hear it breath a sigh or two;

For those are the first things that it will do.

My Rival-Image will be then thought blest,

And laugh at me as dispossest; (20)

I'th substance dost not much delight,

Wilt rather send again for Me.

Who then shall but my Pictures Picture be.
