Pet. First, those twelve pictures that you see there, are the portraitures of the Sibyls, drawn five hundred years since by Titianus of Padua, an excellent painter and statuary.

Pet. Then here is Venus all naked, and Cupid by her, on a dolphin: both these were drawn by Apelles of Greece.
Ant. Proceed.
Pet. Then here is Hercules and Antæus; and that Pallas at length in alabaster, with her helmet and feathers; and that's Jupiter, with an eagle at his back.
Ant. Exceeding well!
Pet. Then there's the great silver box that Nero kept his beard in.
Ant. Good again.
Pet. And after decking it with precious stones, did consecrate it to the Capitol.
