| No my Lucrezia bear with me for once | B |
| Sit down and all shall happen as you wish | C |
| You turn your face but does it bring your heart | D |
| I'll work then for your friend's friend never fear | E |
| Treat his own subject after his own way | F |
| Fix his own time accept too his own price | G |
| And shut the money into this small hand | H |
| When next it takes mine Will it tenderly | I |
| Oh I'll content him but to morrow Love | J |
| I often am much wearier than you think | K |
| This evening more than usual and it seems | L |
| As if forgive now should you let me sit | M |
| Here by the window with your hand in mine | N |
| And look a half hour forth on Fiesole | I |
| Both of one mind as married people use | O |
| Quietly quietly the evening through | P |
| I might get up to morrow to my work | Q |
| Cheerful and fresh as ever Let us try | R |
| To morrow how you shall be glad for this | S |
| Your soft hand is a woman of itself | T |
| And mine the man's bared breast she curls inside | U |
| Don't count the time lost neither you must serve | V |
| For each of the five pictures we require | W |
| It saves a model So keep looking so | X |
| My serpentining beauty rounds on rounds | Y |
| How could you ever prick those perfect ears | Z |
| Even to put the pearl there oh so sweet | A2 |
| My face my moon my everybody's moon | B2 |
| Which everybody looks on and calls his | C2 |
| And I suppose is looked on by in turn | D2 |
| While she looks no one's very dear no less | E2 |
| You smile why there's my picture ready made | F2 |
| There's what we painters call our harmony | I |
| A common greyness silvers everything | G2 |
| All in a twilight you and I alike | H2 |
| You at the point of your first pride in me | I |
| That's gone you know but I at every point | I2 |
| My youth my hope my art being all toned down | J2 |
| To yonder sober pleasant Fiesole | I |
| There's the bell clinking from the chapel top | K2 |
| That length of convent wall across the way | F |
| Holds the trees safer huddled more inside | U |
| The last monk leaves the garden days decrease | L2 |
| And autumn grows autumn in everything | G2 |
| Eh the whole seems to fall into a shape | M2 |
| As if I saw alike my work and self | T |
| And all that I was born to be and do | P |
| A twilight piece Love we are in God's hand | H |
| How strange now looks the life he makes us lead | N2 |
| So free we seem so fettered fast we are | O2 |
| I feel he laid the fetter let it lie | I |
| This chamber for example turn your head | N2 |
| All that's behind us You don't understand | H |
| Nor care to understand about my art | D |
| But you can hear at least when people speak | P2 |
| And that cartoon the second from the door | A |
| It is the thing Love so such things should be | I |
| Behold Madonna I am bold to say | F |
| I can do with my pencil what I know | X |
| What I see what at bottom of my heart | D |
| I wish for if I ever wish so deep | Q2 |
| Do easily too when I say perfectly | I |
| I do not boast perhaps yourself are judge | R2 |
| Who listened to the Legate's talk last week | P2 |
| And just as much they used to say in France | S2 |
| At any rate 'tis easy all of it | M |
| No sketches first no studies that's long past | T2 |
| I do what many dream of all their lives | U2 |
| Dream strive to do and agonize to do | P |
| And fail in doing I could count twenty such | V2 |
| On twice your fingers and not leave this town | J2 |
| Who strive you don't know how the others strive | W2 |
| To paint a little thing like that you smeared | X2 |
| Carelessly passing with your robes afloat | Y2 |
| Yet do much less so much less Someone says | Z2 |
| I know his name no matter so much less | E2 |
| Well less is more Lucrezia I am judged | A3 |
| There burns a truer light of God in them | B3 |
| In their vexed beating stuffed and stopped up brain | C3 |
| Heart or whate'er else than goes on to prompt | D3 |
| This low pulsed forthright craftsman's hand of mine | N |
| Their works drop groundward but themselves I know | X |
| Reach many a time a heaven that's shut to me | I |
| Enter and take their place there sure enough | E3 |
| Though they come back and cannot tell the world | F3 |
| My works are nearer heaven but I sit here | G3 |
| The sudden blood of these men at a word | H3 |
| Praise them it boils or blame them it boils too | P |
| I painting from myself and to myself | T |
| Know what I do am unmoved by men's blame | I3 |
| Or their praise either Somebody remarks | J3 |
| Morello's outline there is wrongly traced | K3 |
| His hue mistaken what of that or else | L3 |
| Rightly traced and well ordered what of that | M3 |
| Speak as they please what does the mountain care | N3 |
| Ah but a man's reach should exceed his grasp | O3 |
| Or what's a heaven for All is silver grey | F |
| Placid and perfect with my art the worse | P3 |
| I know both what I want and what might gain | C3 |
| And yet how profitless to know to sigh | I |
| Had I been two another and myself | T |
| Our head would have o'erlooked the world No doubt | Q3 |
| Yonder's a work now of that famous youth | R3 |
| The Urbinate who died five years ago | X |
| 'Tis copied George Vasari sent it me | I |
| Well I can fancy how he did it all | I |
| Pouring his soul with kings and popes to see | I |
| Reaching that heaven might so replenish him | S3 |
| Above and through his art for it gives way | F |
| That arm is wrongly put and there again | T3 |
| A fault to pardon in the drawing's lines | U3 |
| Its body so to speak its soul is right | V3 |
| He means right that a child may understand | H |
| Still what an arm and I could alter it | M |
| But all the play the insight and the stretch | W3 |
| Out of me out of me And wherefore out | Q3 |
| Had you enjoined them on me given me soul | I |
| We might have risen to Rafael I and you | P |
| Nay Love you did give all I asked I think | K |
| More than I merit yes by many times | X3 |
| But had you oh with the same perfect brow | Y3 |
| And perfect eyes and more than perfect mouth | Z3 |
| And the low voice my soul hears as a bird | H3 |
| The fowler's pipe and follows to the snare | N3 |
| Had you with these the same but brought a mind | A4 |
| Some women do so Had the mouth there urged | B4 |
| God and the glory never care for gain | C3 |
| The present by the future what is that | M3 |
| Live for fame side by side with Agnolo | I |
| Rafael is waiting up to God all three | I |
| I might have done it for you So it seems | L |
| Perhaps not All is as God over rules | C4 |
| Beside incentives come from the soul's self | T |
| The rest avail not Why do I need you | P |
| What wife had Rafael or has Agnolo | I |
| In this world who can do a thing will not | D4 |
| And who would do it cannot I perceive | E4 |
| Yet the will's somewhat somewhat too the power | W |
| And thus we half men struggle At the end | F4 |
| God I conclude compensates punishes | G4 |
| 'Tis safer for me if the award be strict | H4 |
| That I am something underrated here | G3 |
| Poor this long while despised to speak the truth | R3 |
| I dared not do you know leave home all day | F |
| For fear of chancing on the Paris lords | I4 |
| The best is when they pass and look aside | U |
| But they speak sometimes I must bear it all | I |
| Well may they speak That Francis that first time | J4 |
| And that long festal year at Fontainebleau | I |
| I surely then could sometimes leave the ground | K4 |
| Put on the glory Rafael's daily wear | N3 |
| In that humane great monarch's golden look | L4 |
| One finger in his beard or twisted curl | I |
| Over his mouth's good mark that made the smile | I |
| One arm about my shoulder round my neck | M4 |
| The jingle of his gold chain in my ear | G3 |
| I painting proudly with his breath on me | I |
| All his court round him seeing with his eyes | N4 |
| Such frank French eyes and such a fire of souls | O4 |
| Profuse my hand kept plying by those hearts | P4 |
| And best of all this this this face beyond | Q4 |
| This in the background waiting on my work | Q |
| To crown the issue with a last reward | R4 |
| A good time was it not my kingly days | S4 |
| And had you not grown restless but I know | I |
| 'Tis done and past 'twas right my instinct said | N2 |
| Too live the life grew golden and not grey | F |
| And I'm the weak eyed bat no sun should tempt | T4 |
| Out of the grange whose four walls make his world | F3 |
| How could it end in any other way | F |
| You called me and I came home to your heart | D |
| The triumph was to reach and stay there since | U4 |
| I reached it ere the triumph what is lost | V4 |
| Let my hands frame your face in your hair's gold | W4 |
| You beautiful Lucrezia that are mine | N |
| Rafael did this Andrea painted that | M3 |
| The Roman's is the better when you pray | F |
| But still the other's Virgin was his wife | X4 |
| Men w | P |
