I said that like a picture by Giorgione

Venetian women were, and so they are,

Particularly seen from a balcony,

(For beauty's sometimes best set off afar)

And there, just like a heroine of Goldoni,[202A]

They peep from out the blind, or o'er the bar;

And truth to say, they're mostly very pretty,

And rather like to show it, more's the pity!
