from The Flaming Heart: upon the Book and Picture of the seraphicall saint Teresa (as she is usually expressed with a Seraphim beside her).

Well meaning readers! you that come as freinds
And catch the pretious name this peice pretends;
Make not too much hast to admire
That fair-cheek't fallacy of fire.
That is a Seraphim, they say
And this the great Teresia.
Readers, be rul'd by me; & make
Here a well-plac't and wise mistake.
You must transpose the picture quite,
And spell it wrong to read it right.
Read Him for her, & her for him,
And call the Saint the Seraphim.
    Painter, what didst thou understand
To put her dart into his hand!
See, even the yeares & size of him
Showes this the mother Seraphim.
This is the mistresse flame; & duteous he
Her happy fire-works, here, comes down to see.
O most poor-spirited of men!
Had thy cold Pencil kist her Pen
Thou couldst not so unkindly err
To show us This faint shade for Her. 

– Richard Crashaw, Sacred Poems (1652)
