Saints, altars, store of crucifixes gay,
880Whose stately worths my weak expression pass.
Scarce was there known a canonizèd saint
Which carving did not there beget, or paint.
With strong devotion all the virgins prayed
At the direction of the praying bead,
Their Ave-Maries, Santo, Salve's said,
Invoking ev'ry saint to intercede.
Piezza then, Bellama kneeling down,
Did wreathe her temple with the virgin-crown.
