Epigraph

Two illustrations with captions not listed and epigraph:

 

He heard her prayer with withering look;

Then from unholy herbs he took

A drug, and said it would recover

The lost heart of her faithless lover.

FLORENCE! Fair city of that land

Where the Poet’s lip & the Painter’s hand

Are most divine. -----

It lies not in our power to love or hate,

For will in us is overruled by Fate.

 

Marlowe.
