THE LAY FIGURE.

Vanità che par persona.—Dante, Inf. 6.

Dante

There

With padded limbs and varnished face,

Each attitude that art would trace.

Can all that's great or fair display,

Prince, troubadour, or lovely may.

In court and camp, in church or mart,

Which lure the eye but mock the heart.

We see such draping splendours thrust;

Closes in pity and disgust.

THE WINDMILL.

THE WINDMILL.

That

A thing immovable appears,

The symbol of Salvation rears.
