You must agree that Rubens was a Fool
From The Rossetti Manuscript (c. 1793–1818)
Arts & Sciences
You must agree that Rubens was a Fool,
And yet you make him master of your School,
And give more money for his slobberings
Than you will give for Rafael's finest things.
I understood Christ was a Carpenter
And not a Brewer's Servant, my good Sir.
