 affinity to grandeur, are ill suited to beau- 

 ty, from qualities notoriously adverse to 

 that character ; for who would wish to have

 ing Cupids? or, on the other hand, the fresh 

 and tender hues of Albano, or the sweetness 

 of Correggio's pencilling and colouring, on 

 executioners, sea-monsters, and banditti ?
