Corrected
While painting a bucolic scene I saw the Virgin Mary;
And realising this heavenly vision I depicted her;
A Jewish woman, plainly dressed looking weary:
In my passion for her devotion, I spread the word;
Devout Christians coming from all around to see;
And they laughed and began mocking me;
Shouting it was a false image and a blasphemy;
And they beat me and turned me into an outcast;
But ten years after I saw her again, and painted her;
In my mental state I saw a Botticellian virgin beauty;
And they came and they saw and I was believed.
