Pleasure [in Sculpture and Painting]
Pleasure [in Sculpture and Painting] has
been describ’d by an agreeable youth crown’d with
Myrtle,
as
Paris
was by
Venus;
with wings to denote how soon pleasure vanishes; playing on the harp, to
signify that musick heightens other pleasures: and buskins on his feet, to
denote inconstancy, and his undervaluing gold to satiate his
appetite.
