Rubens

Here you are, grand old sensualist!

And here are the three goddesses
displaying their charms to Paris.

It was all one to you &
mdash goddesses, saints, court ladies &
mdash Your world was all curves of flesh
rolling curves repeated like a shell.

Mary Magdalen was almost as good copy as Venus,

Angels might be voluptuous as nymphs.

It was a rich old gorgeous world you painted &
mdash For kinds or prelates, what mattered! &
mdash palace or church!

You had a wonderful, glorious time! &
mdash And no doubt the ladies loved you.
