XII.

Whose tints are Truth and Beauty at their best;

And when you to Manfrini's palace go,[200]

That picture (howsoever fine the rest)

Is loveliest to my mind of all the show;

It may perhaps be also to your zest,

And that's the cause I rhyme upon it so:

Tis but a portrait of his Son, and Wife,

And self; but such a Woman! Love in life![201]
