[326] Alexander, in his S. John, in _St. Andrea della Valle_ at Rome; Niobe, in a picture belonging to the _Tesoro di S. Gennaro_, at Naples.

[327] So are the goddesses of the Theopægnia at Blenheim, in Oxfordshire; and hence it is clear, that another Venus, analogous to that in the Tribuna, among the pictures of a gentleman in London, cannot be the production of that genius-in-flesh only. This daughter of the Idalian graces seems to thrill with inward pleasure, and to recollect a night of bliss——

There is language in her eye, her cheek, her lip: Nay, her foot speaks——
