The fancied mistress seems to be nothing more than a web stretched out on the warp for the purpose of embroidering the poet's conceits ; and of these, many are the mere sports of an idle ingenuity, which have no concern either with the imagination or the heart : such is the description of her hand : — JEAN BERTAUT. 1J5 Quant a sa belle main, ceste vive merveille, Qui de ma liberte rend I'Amour possesseup. EUe se pourroit dire au monde sans pareille Si Dieu I'eust condamnee a n'avoir point de so...eur : Mais pour men double mal, elle nasquit g'emelle, D'un marbre qui mobile en dix branches se fend : L'une exerce le vol, et I'autre le recele : L'une commet le meurtre, et I'autre le defend. V. 2. P. 5. " As to her beautiful hand, that living wonder, which renders Love the possessor of my freedom, it might be said to be without an equal in the world, if heaven had condemned it not to have a sister : but for my double misfortune it was born a twin, and both framed of a marble that is endowed with motion, and cleft into ten branches : the one is the committer of the theft, and the other its concealer ; the one perpetrates the murder, and the other defends it.
