Since she is, after all, a goddess,
The Diana drawn by Francesco Albani
Can read upside-down letters and
Has ill-advisedly read the caption
Running beneath her. It complains of
Her "somewhat mannered elongation"
And claims she is the dull result
Of "rather dry penwork." If she's somehow
Read the next page she's discovered
Her figure is brittle and spidery too;
Do you wonder she looks upset?
