ON THE SAME PICTURE BEING REMOVED TO MAKE PLACE FOR A PORTRAIT OF A LADY BY TITIAN 35

 

Who art thou, fair one, who usurp’st the place

Of Blanche, the lady of the matchless grace¹?

Come, fair and pretty, tell to me

Who, in thy life-time, thou might’st be.

Thou pretty art and fair,

But with the lady Blanche thou never must compare.

No need for Blanche her history to tell;

Whoever saw her face, they there did read it well.

But when I look on thee, I only know

There lived a pretty maid some hundred years ago.

1 grace   

n.优雅，雅致，魅力，恩惠，慈悲
