Though folk have their fling at tradition forsooth!
Row, boys, fore and aft, rhyme and chime!
BEATRICE SIGNORINI
This strange thing happened to a painter once:
Viterbo boasts the man among her sons
Of note, I seem to think: his ready tool
Picked up its precepts in Cortona's school—
That 's Pietro Berretini, whom they call
Cortona, these Italians: greatish-small,
Our painter was his pupil, by repute
