Veronica Franco, by Tintoretto?, ca. 1575

As sometimes from heaven to humble roofsJupiter, benign, descends to us here belowand, to prevent earthly eyes from being blindedby such a sublime sight, takes human form;So to my modest dwellingwithout the shine and dazzle of royal pompcame Henri, called to so vast a kingdomthat one world alone cannot contain it.Although he came disguised, he nonethelessso imprinted upon my heart his heavenly meritthat my natural strength abandoned me.So, being assured of my great affection,with a gracious and open spirit, he took my portrait,worked in colored enamel, away with him.

-Veronica Franco
