I witnessed your beauty in a statue.
I know the piece you are referring to.
You must have been the model for its coup.
Thank you! But it was fortuity's due.
Are you not Penelope, like the piece?
By chance, again, though I know the carver.
Do you also share the last name, at peace?
Israel, indeed, with all the fervour.
Penelope Israel. How lovely!
Thank you! You are too kind. What is your name?
Mostly Moses, like his statue, roughly.
Michelangelo's? Not at all, the same.
Largely in disposition and tempo.
I have an ancient staff you can borrow.
