THE ORLANDO FURIOSO.
CANTO XXXIII.
I.
Timagoras, Parrhasius, Polygnote[1],
Protogenes, renowned Apollodore,
Timanthes, and Apelles, first of note,
Zeuxis and others, famous heretofore,
Whose memory down the stream of Time will float,
While we their wreck and labours lost deplore,
Whose fame will flourish still in Fate’s despite,
(Grammercy authors!) while men read and write;
II.
And those, yet living or of earlier day,
Mantegna, Leonardo, Gian Belline,
The Dossi, and, skilled to carve or to pourtray,
Michael, less man than angel and divine,
Bastiano, Raphael, Titian, who (as they
Urbino and Venice) makes Cadoro shine;
With more, whose works resemble what we hear
And credit of those spirits, famed whilere;
