“He stood, a soldier, to the last right end,
A perfect patriot and a noble friend,

By him, so ample, full, and round
In weight in measure, number, sound,
As, though his age imperfect might appear,
His life was of humanity the sphere.”

His model was posed up a ladder.
Said Titian, That position
Calls for coition,
So he lept up the ladder and had her.”
