Reading edition
FROM THE POETIC WORKS OF ROBERT BROWNING
By Robert Browning
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.
Transcriber's Note:
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.
Quotation marks have been left only at the beginning and end of a multi-line quotation, and at the beginning of each stanza within the quotation, instead of at the beginning of every line, as in the printed text.
