("to label something something")
There was an ancient well-site beneath the labyrinth
I did not reach, the part underground,
labeled (what else?) The Crypt.
But labels always hide something
about what they seem to define.
They set things apart
without disclosing why.
Alive costs a pretty penny
to see The Crypt now.

| Paolo Monaldi (and others) Prince James receiving his son Prince Henry in front of Palazzo del Re in Rome ca. 1747-48 oil on canvas National Galleries of Scotland |
"The Palazzo del Re was home to the exiled Jacobite court in Rome. Owned by the Muti family, it was rented by the Papacy for the Old Pretender, James Francis Edward Stuart. Both James's sons, Charles Edward ('Bonnie Prince Charlie') and Henry Benedict were born in the palace. The event depicted here is a celebration organised in honour of Henry's appointment as cardinal deacon on 3 July 1747. James, wearing the blue sash of the Order of the Garter, is shown greeting his younger son, who is dressed in the black coat, scarlet stockings and shoes with red heels often worn by cardinals in the eighteenth century. The palace itself has been lavishly 'dressed' with temporary architectural decoration, somewhat like a theatre set."
