To a Lady, with a fan, whereon was painted on one side an
old Venus reading with spectacles, a Grace standing by her;
in the reverse, Venus, in a rich wrought, but loose robe,
looking upwards and giving alms, in an inclined posture, is
a beggar, on the ground.
  Mira, take this painted fan;
  Of it make the most you can,
  When it rises full display'd
  To supply the cooling shade.
