Lycinus I approve your judgement. We shall have no need of other artists: I am now to cull from each of these its own peculiar beauty, and combine all in a single portrait.

Polystratus And how are you going to do that?

Lycinus It is quite simple. All we have to do is to hand over our several types to Reason, whose care it must be to unite them in the most harmonious fashion, with due regard to the consistency, as to the variety, of the result.

Polystratus To be sure; let Reason take her materials and begin.

v.3.p.16
What will she make of it, I wonder? Will she contrive to put all these different types together without their clashing?
