Etext produced by Dick Adicks HTML file produced by David Widger Introduction and Notes: Charlotte Porter and Helen A. Clarke, from the edition of Browning's poems published by Thomas Y. Crowell and Company, New York, in 1898. Editing conventions: The digraphs have been silently rendered as "ae" or "oe." [u`] indicates u-grave, [a`] a-grave, [e`] e-grave, and [a^] a-circumflex. Similarly, u-umlaut is rendered as "ue." Stanza and section numbers have been moved to the left margin, and periods that follow them have been removed. Periods have been omitted after Roman numerals in the titles of popes and nobles. In keeping with contemporary practice, commas have been deleted when they precede dashes and spaces deleted in such contractions as "there's" where the printed text has "there 's." In references to Bible verses, Roman numerals have been changed to Arabic numerals (e. g., "John iii.16" is changed to "John 3:16").
