And come back much more guilty than they went:

And when their sins they set sincerely down,
They'll find that their Religion has been one.

The names of great painters are like passing-bells: in the name of Velasquez you hear sounded the fall of Spain; .in the name of Titian, that of Venice; in the name of Leonardo, that of Milan; in the name of Raphael, that of Rome.

That money, they keep here.
