Suppose they say to you "Rembrandt,
You will be Rembrandt for the next five years;
After that you'll have to find work -- innkeeper, perhaps,
Or a miller, like your father? -- and be called
The Man Who Used to be Rembrandt. Still,
Quite a lot can be done in five years. Set to!
Do you think the Polish Rider will paint himself?
