Alexander Pope (1688–1744).  Complete Poetical Works.  1903.
 
Poems: 1718–27
On Drawings of the Statues of Apollo, Venus, and Hercules
 
        
Made for Pope by Sir Godfrey Kneller
  
  These drawings were made for the adornment of Pope’s house at Twickenham.

WHAT god, what genius did the pencil move,
  When Kneller painted these?
’T was friendship, warm as Phœbus, kind as Love,
  And strong as Hercules.
