My thought should shape Its fancies in rough granite on some cape O'erlooking the Atlantic, from whose foam No goddess ever leaped, and not in Rome, Beneath the mockery of immortal eyes, Gazing in marble down, so coldly wise !
Such was Griselda's thought, which, half aloud, She uttered one May morning 'mid a crowd Of pleasure-seekers, come from Rome to see The wonder of these falls of Tivoli, GRISELDA 53 And Belgirate's villa, where the Prince Was offering entertainment (for his sins), And danc...ing to all such as called him friend That Spring in Rome, now nearly at an end ; A thought suggested by the place and by A German painter, who undauntedly Was plying a huge canvas just begun, With brush and palette seated in the sun.
She had hardly meant to speak, and when Lord L.
Objected (for he knew his classics well) That landscape-painting was an unknown trade In the days of Horace, blushed for her tirade, And turned to Belgirate, who stood near, Playing the host to all the world and her.
The Prince appealed to, though his care was less With what was spoken than the speaker's face, Took up the parable, confessed the truth Of all each ventured, and agreed with both.
