Though beautiful Simonetta Vespucci
succumbed to painful ravaging disease,
which destroyed elegant grace of her form,
consumed by suffering from tuberculosis,
elegant perfection of her sweet face,
and startling glitter of star-gazing eyes,
lives on forever long after her death,
for she is immortal Venus of Genoa,
transcendent Siren of Ligurian Sea,
who rises reborn from wild ocean waves.
Graceful beauty of her embodied soul
forever on painting canvas shines bright
so we can perceive beauty of her heart
revealed in sweet love glowing on her face,
idea of beauty that transcends all time
though she long ago crumbled into dust.
