This eBook was produced by Dick Adicks.

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”).
