And make the sound a picture of the sense.”

Et res verborum propria vi reddere claras;
Omnia sed numeris vocum concordibus aptant,
Atque sono, quaecunque canunt, imitantur.

Context: Tis not enough his verses to complete,
In measure, numbers, or determined feet;
Or render things, by clear expression bright,
And set each object in a proper light:
To all, proportioned terms he must dispense,
And make the sound a picture of the sense.
