No matter for these! But Giotto, you,

Have you allowed, as the town-tongues babble it,—

Oh, never! it shall not be counted true—

That a certain precious little tablet

Which Buonarroti eyed like a lover—

Was buried so long in oblivion's womb

And, left for another than I to discover,

Turns up at last! and to whom?—to whom?

I, that have haunted the dim San Spirito,

(Or was it rather the Ognissanti?)
