Diana Comments

Nothing to do with Princess Di! It is a translation of a poem by the French renaissance poet, Maurice sceve... Where he contrasts the Diana mentioned first being the Roman Goddess of Hunting with his potential girlfriend also called Diana. It's an example of classical irony with the Goddess charging around looking for animals to kill whereas the human Diana only needs the odd gesture to get her targets grovelling at her feet.. Sceve wrote some very funny poems. In one he pretends to be this lover who is livid because his mistress is actually sleeping with her husband that night! No doubt the man was a mate of his!
