"Art," "main," "lineature," and "couleur," terms connected to pictorial art, richly suggest the contributing elements through which representation signifies.
What happens there, however, is a kind of slippage, promoted by the uncertain, drifting antecedent of "Dont" in line 5 (is it "pourtraicture," or "Creature," or something less delimited by words such as the act of painting, or the Heavens' accomplishing of a creature?) and by the uncertain reference of "Accomplissantz" (who accomplishes?), "sa lineature" (of the portrait or of the woman?) and even "Et la couleur." It is not until the reader arrives at "du vif imitatiue" (line 7) that one realizes that the four and one-half lines before it must be referring still to the portrait, if the hierarchy subordinating the portrait to the "vif" is being maintained.
Plus ie poursuis par le discours des yeulx L'art, & la main de telle pourtraicture, Et plus i'admire, & adore les Cieulx Accomplissantz si belle Creature, Dont le parfaict de sa lineature M'esmeult le sens, & l'imaginatiue" Et la couleur du vif imitatiue, Me brule, & ard iusques a l'esprit rendre.

It is clear that Cretin is much more concerned with God, His Church, and the mysteries and miracles of dogma than with the "Angelicques traitz" and other "attraits" of Delie's body, her precious and undulating "lineature" which deploys itself "sur Base assise et bien suyvie," "creux et rondz obliques" of the "Plinte" - nothing is missing, it is all there - splendors which the eye caresses and upon which it feasts.
