Actually, I didn't assume that, Janice. But, fantastic! That is one of my favorite paintings. De la Croix took enormous crap for it from the authorities of the Salon. Did anyone bother Byron?

Sorry to have inadvertently outed you. But, of course, you copped to it yourself in the end.~,:^) Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading your poem.

And, you know, for pentameter purposes, you can go anywhere up to and including SAR / da / NAP / a / LUS, whatever classics to the contrary. It is one of those names/words where, bascially, you tell us (within reason) how it is pronounced by how you use it in the line. I bet that's what Byron did.
