4253Your heart''s queen, you dethrone her? 4253 ''Tis something, nay''tis much: but then, Have you yourself what''s best for men? 4253 --And when that''s told me, what''s remaining? 4253 --I say, should you be such a curmudgeon, If she clung to the perch, as to take it in dudgeon? 4253 --Saith, he knoweth but one thing-- what he knows? 4253 --Saith, it no more means what it proclaims, Than a damsel''s threat to her wanton bird? 4253 100 Say, hast thou lied?
4253100 Travels Waring East away?
4253100 Was it not great?
4253120 XXI Our elder boy has got the clear Great brow; tho''when his brother''s black Full eye shows scorn, it... Gismond here?
4253180 XXXI What in the midst lay but the Tower itself?
425320 Thither our path lies; wind we up the heights: Wait ye the warning?
425320 VI"Would ye retrieve the one?
4253210 You saw Waring?
4253230 A pilot for you to Triest?
425340 Might she have loved me?
425340 Or heave his chest, which a band goes round?
425340 XI And I,--what I seem to my friend, you see: What I soon shall seem to his love, you guess: What I seem to myself, do you ask of me?
425360 VII When sudden... how think ye, the end?
425360 XI I?
425370 But what, or where?
425370 II Say again, what we are?
4253880 What''s a man''s age?
4253A LIGHT WOMAN I So far as our story approaches the end, Which do you pity the most of us three?
4253Ages ago, a lady there, At the farthest window facing the East Asked,"Who rides by with the royal air?"
4253And have you brought my tercel back?
4253And he bade them fetch Some subtle moulder of brazen shapes--"Can the soul, the will, die out of a man 200 Ere his body find the grave that gapes?
4253And here we are riding, she and I. V Fail I alone, in words and deeds?
4253And when old poets had said their say of it, 230 How taught old painters in their pictures?
4253Are you-- poor, sick, old ere your time-- Nearer one whit your own sublime Than we who never have turned a rhyme?
4253But what?
4253But when the heart suffers a blow, Will the pain pass so soon, do you know?"
4253But who goes gleaning Hedgeside chance- glades, while full- sheaved Stand cornfields by him?
4253Did I say"without friend"?
4253Did I say, all?
4253Did not he magnify the mind, show clear Just what it all meant?
4253Didst ever behold so lithe a chine?
4253Dip your arm o''er the boat- side, elbow- deep, As I do: thus: were death so unlike sleep, Caught this way?
4253Do my fingers dip In a flame which again they throw On the cheek that breaks a- glow?
4253Do you see?
4253Earth being so good, would heaven seem best?
4253Feed, should not he, to heart''s content?
4253Fortù, shall we sail there together And see from the sides 210 Quite new rocks show their faces, new haunts Where the siren abides?
4253Gay he rode, with a friend as gay, Till he threw his head back--"Who is she?"
4253Have you turned two pages?
4253He said,"What''s time?
4253He ventured neck or nothing- heaven''s success Found, or earth''s failure: 110"Wilt thou trust death or not?"
4253Here''s the top- peak; the multitude below Live, for they can, there: This man decided not to Live but Know-- Bury this man there?
4253How can he curse, if his mouth is gagged?
4253I What are we two?
4253I What if the Three should catch at last Thy serenader?
4253I admonished myself,"Is one mocked by an elf, Is one baffled by toad or by rat?
4253I am able yet All I want, to get By a method as strange as new: Dare I trust the same to you?
4253I never was in love; and since Charles proved false, what shall now convince My inmost heart I have a friend?
4253I said,"Is it blessing, is it banning, Do they applaud you or burlesque you-- Those hands and fingers with no flesh on?"
4253II I struck him, he grovelled of course-- For, what was his force?
4253II What else should he be set for, with his staff?
4253III"Poor, who had plenty once, When gifts fell thick as rain: 10 But they give us nought, for the nonce, And now should we give again?"
4253IX And she,--she lies in my hand as tame As a pear late basking over a wall; Just a touch to try and off it came;''Tis mine,--can I let it fall?
4253IX Who knows what''s fit for us?
4253If she wished not the rash deed''s recalment?
4253In Russia?
4253In Vishnu- land what Avatar?
4253In Vishnu- land what Avatar?
4253In a minute can lovers exchange a word?
4253In land- travel or sea- faring?)
4253Insulted by a lazy ribald With idle pipe and vesture piebald?
4253Is there a reason in metre?
4253Job, that''s you?
4253Just as he said this, what should hap At the chamber door but a gentle tap?
4253Last--Ah, there, what should I wish?
4253Leave friends in the lurch?
4253Lie back; could thought of mine improve you?
4253Long he lived nameless: how should spring take note Winter would follow?
4253My dance is finished?"
4253My friend, or the mistress of my friend With her wanton eyes, or me?
4253Now you''ve his curtsey-- and what comes next?
4253O how will your country show next week, When all the vine- boughs 130 Have been stripped of their foliage to pasture The mules and the cows?
4253Oh Waring, what''s to really be?
4253Oh sir, she smiled, no doubt, Whene''er I passed her; but who passed without Much the same smile?
4253Oh, which were best, to roam or rest?
4253Only one minute more to- night with me?
4253Or fruit, tobacco and cigars?
4253Or is the other fate in store, And art thou fitted to adore, To give thy wondrous self away, And take a stronger nature''s sway?
4253Or kick with his feet, now his legs are bound?
4253Or threat with his fist, since his arms are spliced?
4253Or wriggle his neck, with a collar there?
4253Row home?
4253Shall she whose body I embraced A night long, queen it in the day?
4253Shall we sail round and round them, close over The rocks, tho''unseen, That ruffle the grey glassy water To glorious green?
4253She went out''mid hooting and laughter; Clement Marot stayed; I followed after, And asked, as a grace, what it all meant?
4253Some Garrick, say, out shall not he 190 The heart of Hamlet''s mystery pluck?
4253Some, honied of taste like your leman''s tongue: Some, bitter; for why?
4253Telling aught but honest truth to?
4253That God is good and the rest is breath; Why else is the same styled Sharon''s rose?
4253That he wooed and won... how do you call her?
4253The blow a glove gives is but weak: Does the mark yet discolour my cheek?
4253The land''s lap or the water''s breast?
4253They had answered,"And afterward, what else?"
4253This foot once planted on the goal, This glory- garland round my soul, Could I descry such?
4253This man said rather,"Actual life comes next?
4253To- day is not wholly lost, beside, With its hope of my lady''s countenance:"For I ride-- what should I do but ride?
4253Toad or rat vex the king?
4253Truth or joke?
4253Up stumps Solomon-- bustling too?
4253VI What hand and brain went ever paired?
4253VII What does it all mean, poet?
4253VII Who maketh God''s menace an idle word?
4253VIII Whom now is the bishop a- leering at?
4253Was our outrage sore?
4253Were it thrown in the road, would the case assist?
4253What I answered?
4253What act proved all its thought had been?
4253What bad use was that engine for, that wheel, 140 Or brake, not wheel-- that harrow fit to reel Men''s bodies out like silk?
4253What cometh to John of the wicked thumb?
4253What heart alike conceived and dared?
4253What made those holes and rents In the dock''s harsh swarth leaves, bruised as to baulk 70 All hope of greenness?
4253What meant old poets by their strictures?
4253What need to strive with a life awry?
4253What penned them there, with all the plain to choose?
4253What says the body when they spring Some monstrous torture- engine''s whole Strength on it?
4253What should your chamber do?
4253What the price is, who can say?
4253What will but felt the fleshly screen?
4253What wrong have I done to you?
4253What''s he at, quotha?
4253What''s left but-- all of me to take?
4253What''s that poor Agnese doing Where they make the shutters fast?
4253What, save to waylay with his lies, ensnare All travellers who might find him posted there, 10 And ask the road?
4253What, unfilleted, Made alive, and spread Through the void with a rich outburst, Chestnut gold- interspersed?
4253When a man''s busy, why, leisure Strikes him as wonderful pleasure: Faith, and at leisure once is he?
4253Where had I been now if the worst befell?
4253While these wait the trump of doom, How do their spirits pass, I wonder, Nights and days in the narrow room?
4253Who knows but the world may end tonight?
4253Who shall blame, When the slaves enslave, the oppressed ones o''er The oppressor triumph for evermore?
4253Who were the strugglers, what war did they wage, Whose savage trample thus could pad the dank 130 Soil to a plash?
4253Who''d stoop to blame This sort of trifling?
4253Who''s alive?
4253Who''s to blame 30 If your silence kept unbroken?
4253Why not, then, have earlier spoken, Written, bustled?
4253Why''s the Pucci Palace flaring Like a beacon to the blast?
4253Why, all men strive and who succeeds?
4253Will its record stay?"
4253Will the night send a howlet or a bat?
4253Will''t please you rise?
4253Will''t please you sit and look at her?
4253Would you stay me?
4253XI"How?
4253XIV Alive?
4253XVI When the liquor''s out why clink the cannikin?
4253XVIII"We withstood Christ then?
4253XXXII Not see?
4253XXXIII Not hear?
4253You acquiesce, and shall I repine?
4253You hope, because you''re old and obese, To find in the furry civic robe ease?
4253You look away and your lip is curled?
4253You of the virtue( we issue join) How strive you?
4253You threaten us, fellow?
4253You''d say, he despised our bluff old ways?
4253at the last or first?
4253cried the Mayor,"d''ye think I brook Being worse treated than a Cook?
4253did not he throw on God,( He loves the burthen) God''s task to make the heavenly period Perfect the earthen?
4253greedy beyond your years To handsel the bishop''s shaving- shears?
4253have I drawn or no Life to that lip?
4253must we row home?
4253was the hair so first?
4253what atones?
4253what hangman hands 100 Pin to his breast a parchment?
4253you say?
17393How? 17393 Nay,"quoth the Prior,"turn him out, d''ye say?
17393Now, is this sense, I ask? 17393 What think ye of Christ,"friend?
17393Why, for this What need of art at all? 17393 the mouthful of bread?"
17393''s surprising fate?
17393''t would press its pay, you think?
17393( And after all, our patient Lazarus Is stark mad; should we count on what he says?
17393--For what?
17393--Terni''s fall, Naples''bay and Gothard''s top-- Eh, friend?
1739310 Did she live and love it all her life- time?
17393170 How could it end in any other way?
17393190 Why put all thoughts of praise out of our head With wonder at lines, colors, and what not?
17393220 A man''s choice, yes-- but a cabin- passenger''s-- The man made for the special life o''the world-- Do you forget him?
17393220 Must see you-- you, and not with me?
17393240 Do n''t you think they''re the likeliest to know, They with their Latin?
17393250 Well, had I riches of my own?
17393290 To be passed over, despised?
1739330 When somebody, through years and years to come, Hints of the bishop-- names me-- that''s enough:"Blougram?
1739350 Swift as a weaver''s shuttle fleet our years: Man goeth to the grave, and where is he?
17393510 But does he say so?
1739370 Blown harshly, keeps the trump its golden cry?
1739370 Was some such understanding''twixt the two?
1739380 Was the thing done?--then, what''s to do again?
17393A good time, was it not, my kingly days?
17393Again, who wonders and who cares?
17393Ah, but a man''s reach should exceed his grasp, Or what''s a heaven for?
17393All''s doubt in me; where''s break of faith in this?
17393And now what are we?
17393And so a risk is run-- For what gain?
17393And so you live to sleep as I to wake, To unbelieve as I to still believe?
17393And thus our soul, misknown, cries out to Zeus To vindicate his purpose in our life: Why stay we on the earth unless to grow?
17393And wherefore out?
17393Another smile?
17393As here I lie 10 In this state- chamber, dying by degrees, Hours and long hours in the dead night, I ask"Do I live, am I dead?"
17393As when a traveller, bound from North to South, 790 Scouts far in Russia: what''s its use in France?
17393Ask him, if this life''s all, who wins the game?
17393Ay, of all the artists living, loving, None but would forego his proper dowry-- Does he paint?
17393BISHOP BLOUGRAM''S APOLOGY 1855 No more wine?
17393Back I shrink-- what is this I see and hear?
17393Because in my great epos I display How divers men young, strong, fair, wise, can act-- Is this as though I acted?
17393Break fire''s law, 720 Sin against rain, although the penalty Be just a singe or soaking?
17393But do you, in truth''s name?
17393But now,"He may believe; and yet, and yet How can he?"
17393But to what result?
17393But what can be meant by the expression''drop them''?
17393But whom at least do you admire?
17393But why not do as well as say-- paint these Just as they are, careless what comes of it?
17393But would I rather you discovered that, Subjoining--"Still, what matter though they be?
17393Can you not?
17393Come, what am I a beast for?
17393Conceding which-- had Zeus then questioned thee"Shall I go on a step, improve on this, Do more for visible creatures than is done?"
17393Contrariwise, he loves both old and young, Able and weak, affects the very brutes And birds-- how say I?
17393Could Saint John there draw-- His camel- hair make up a painting- brush?
17393Did I say basalt for my slab, sons?
17393Did he ever write a hundred?
17393Did the man love his office?
17393Do they like grass or no-- May they or may n''t they?
17393Do you forget already words like those?)
17393Does law so analyzed coerce you much?
17393Doubt proves right?
17393Draw close: that conflagration of my church--What then?
17393Draw round my bed: is Anselm keeping back?
17393Eh?
17393First cut the Liquefaction, what comes last But Fichte''s clever cut at God himself?
17393Five of these ash- gray mottled spiders?
17393Flower o''the quince, I let Lisa go, and what good is life since?
17393Fool or knave?
17393For where had been a progress, otherwise?
17393For, do n''t you mark?
17393Had I been born three hundred years ago They''d say,"What''s strange?
17393Has it your vote to be so if it can?
17393Have you noticed, now, Your cullion''s hanging face?
17393He flared out in the flaring of mankind; Such Luther''s luck was: how shall such be mine?
17393He writeth, doth he?
17393Here''s Giotto, with his Saint a- praising God, That sets us praising-- why not stop with him?
17393How I know it does?
17393How else Shall ye contrast my frieze to come beneath?
17393How should you feel, I ask, in such an age, How act?
17393I doubt if they''re half baked, those chalk rosettes, Ciphers and stucco- twiddlings everywhere; It''s just like breathing in a lime- kiln: eh?
17393I painted a Saint Laurence six months since At Prato, splashed the fresco in fine style:"How looks my painting, now the scaffold''s down?"
17393I say, whence sprang this?
17393I set the watch-- how should the people know?
17393I warrant, Blougram''s sceptical at times: How otherwise?
17393III Dear Pilgrim, art thou for the East indeed?
17393IX Wherefore?
17393If I''m a Shakespeare, let the well alone; Why should I try to be what now I am?
17393If I''m no Shakespeare, as too probable-- His power and consciousness and self- delight 500 And all we want in common, shall I find-- Trying forever?
17393If care-- where is the sign?
17393If he keep silence-- why, for you or me Or that brute beast pulled- up in to- day''s"Times,"What odds is''t, save to ourselves, what life we lead?
17393If you desire faith-- then you''ve faith enough: What else seeks God-- nay, what else seek ourselves?
17393If you would sit thus by me every night I should work better, do you comprehend?
17393In France spurns flannel: where''s its need in Spain?
17393Is he not such an one as moves to mirth-- Warily parsimonious, when no need, Wasteful as drunkenness at undue times?
17393Is it carelessness?
17393Is this apparent, when thou turn''st to muse Upon the scheme of earth and man in chief, That admiration grows as knowledge grows?
17393It may be false, but will you wish it true?
17393It might have fallen to another''s hand: what then?
17393It''s not your chance to have a bit of chalk, A wood- coal or the like?
17393Life, how and what is it?
17393Love, does that please you?
17393Man might live at first The animal life: but is there nothing more?
17393May a brother speak?
17393More gaming debts to pay?
17393Must you go?
17393My sons, ye would not be my death?
17393No dogmas nail your faith; and what remains But say so, like the honest man you are?
17393No sketches first, no studies, that''s long past: I do what many dream of, all their lives,--Dream?
17393Now for our six months''voyage-- how prepare?
17393O youth, men praise so-- holds their praise its worth?
17393On vain recourse, as I conjecture it, To his tried virtue, for miraculous help-- How could he stop the earthquake?
17393Present your own perfection, your ideal, Your pattern man for a minute-- oh, make haste, Is it Napoleon you would have us grow?
17393Proves she as the paved work of a sapphire Seen by Moses when he climbed the mountain?
17393Proves she like some portent of an iceberg Swimming full upon the ship it founders, 170 Hungry with huge teeth of splintered crystals?
17393Say you, my fault is I address myself To grosser estimators than should judge?
17393Say, is it nothing that I know them all?
17393Since there my past life lies, why alter it?
17393Somebody remarks Morello''s outline there is wrongly traced, His hue mistaken; what of that?
17393Speak as they please, what does the mountain care?
17393Still, all I care for, if he spoke the truth,( What he?
17393Suppose I''ve made her eyes all right and blue, Ca n''t I take breath and try to add life''s flash, And then add soul and heighten them three- fold?
17393Take five what?
17393Tastes sweet the water with such specks of earth?
17393That Cousin here again?
17393That imperfection means perfection hid, Reserved in part, to grace the after- time?
17393The artificer has given her one small tube Past power to widen or exchange-- what boots To know she might spout oceans if she could?
17393The captain, or whoever''s master here-- 120 You see him screw his face up; what''s his cry Ere you set foot on shipboard?
17393The man is apathetic, you deduce?
17393The present by the future, what is that?
17393The six- foot Swiss tube, braced about with bark, Which helps the hunter''s voice from Alp to Alp-- Exchange our harp for that-- who hinders you?
17393The triumph was-- to reach and stay there; since I reached it ere the triumph, what is lost?
17393Those loans?
17393Thou canst not think a mere barbarian Jew, As Paulus proves to be, one circumcised, Hath access to a secret shut from us?
17393Thou diest while I survive?
17393V Dante once prepared to paint an angel: Whom to please?
17393VIII What of Rafael''s sonnets, Dante''s picture?
17393We both have minds and bodies much alike: In truth''s name, do n''t you want my bishopric, My daily bread, my influence and my state?
17393Well, I could never write a verse-- could you?
17393What can I gain on the denying side?
17393What did ye give me that I have not saved?
17393What do they whisper thee, Child of my bowels, Anselm?
17393What if I told her, it is just a thread From that great river which the hills shut up, And mock her with my leave to take the same?
17393What need of lying?
17393What paid the Woodless man for so much pains?
17393What say you to the poets?
17393What wife had Rafael, or has Agnolo?
17393What would men have?
17393What would one have?
17393What''s it all about?
17393What''s midnight''s doubt before the dayspring''s faith?
17393What''s the vague good o''the world, for which you dare With comfort to yourself blow millions up?
17393What''s wrong?
17393What''s your reward, self- abnegating friend?
17393What, and the soul alone deteriorates?
17393What, brother Lippo''s doings, up and down, 40 You know them and they take you?
17393What,''tis past midnight, and you go the rounds, And here you catch me at an alley''s end Where sportive ladies leave their doors ajar?
17393What?
17393When altogether old B. disappeared And young C. got his mistress, was''t our friend, His letter to the King, that did it all?
17393When, through his journey, was the fool at ease?
17393Whence has the man the balm that brightens all?
17393Where''s The gain?
17393Where''s a hole, where''s a corner for escape?
17393While hand and eye and something of a heart Are left me, work''s my ware, and what''s it worth?
17393While he smites, how can he but remember, So he smote before, in such a peril, 80 When they stood and mocked--"Shall smiting help us?"
17393Who am I, the worm, to argue with my Pope?
17393Who am I?
17393Who studious in our art Shall count a little labor un- repaid?
17393Who summoned those cold faces that begun To press on me and judge me?
17393Who that one, you ask?
17393Who wonders and who cares?
17393Why do I need you?
17393Why needs a bishop be a fool or knave When there''s a thousand diamond weights between?
17393Why not,"The Way, the Truth, the Life?"
17393Why write of trivial matters, things of price Calling at every moment for remark?
17393Will it?
17393Will ye ever eat my heart?
17393Will you?
17393Would I, who hope to live a dozen years, Fight Austerlitz for reasons such and such?
17393XVI What, there''s nothing in the moon noteworthy?
17393XVII What were seen?
17393Yet stay: my Syrian blinketh gratefully, Protesteth his devotion is my price-- Suppose I write what harms not, though he steal?
17393You and I would rather read that volume,( Taken to his beating bosom by it) Lean and list the bosom- beats of Rafael, 20 Would we not?
17393You criticise the soul?
17393You own your instincts?
17393You see lads walk the street Sixty the minute; what''s to note in that?
17393You smile?
17393You turn your face, but does it bring your heart?
17393You''ll guarantee me that?
17393You''ll say, the old system''s not so obsolete But men believe still: ay, but who and where?
17393Zooks, what''s to blame?
17393but who knows his mind, The Syrian runagate I trust this to?
17393confound the knowing how And showing how to live( my faculty) With actually living?--Otherwise Where is the artist''s vantage o''er the king?

16376Athens to aid?
16376Ay, himself loves what does him good; but why?
16376Ay, of all the artists living, loving, None but would forego his proper dowry,-- Does he paint?
16376Ay, to save and redeem and restore him, maintain at the height This perfection,--succeed with life''s dayspring, death''s minute of night?

16376Can you cite anything in the history of religions to parallel Caliban''s theology?
16376Compare the directness of the opening with that of the preceding poem: What is the advantage of such a beginning?
16376Contrariwise, he loves both old and young, Able and weak, affects the very brutes And birds-- how say I?
16376Could you say so, and never say"Suppose we join hands and fortunes, 50 And I fetch her from over the way, Her, piano, and long tunes and short tunes?"

16376Do you find this spirit in any of his poetry which you have read?
16376Do you forget already words like those?)
16376Does Browning indicate his preference for either view, or tell the story impartially?
16376Does Browning think so?
16376Does anything in it remind you of_ The Grammarian_, or of_ Rabbi Ben Ezra?_ CALIBAN UPON SETEBOS.
16376Does he appeal to your sympathy, or provoke your condemnation?
16376Does he base his optimistic hope on reason or feeling?

16376From what motives?
16376GIVE A ROUSE I King Charles, and who''ll do him right now?
16376Has it more or less of the romantic, or of grandeur?
16376Hast thou loved the white locks of thy father, whose sword thou didst guard 80 When he trusted thee forth with the armies, for glorious reward?
16376Have I forethought?
16376Have I knowledge?
16376Have we withered or agonized?
16376He merely looked with his large eyes on me, The man is apathetic, you deduce?
16376He said,"What''s time?
16376He ventured neck or nothing-- heaven''s success Found, or earth''s failure: 110"Wilt thou trust death or not?"
16376Here, the creature surpass the creator,--the end, what began?
16376Here, the parts shift?

16376How,--when?
16376I never was in love; and since Charles proved false, what shall now convince My inmost heart I have a friend?
16376I stood Quivering,--the limbs of me fretting as fire frets, an inch from dry wood:"Persia has come, Athens asks aid, and still they debate?
16376I struck him, he grovelled of course-- For, what was his force?
16376I''ve better counsellors; what counsel they?
16376II Who gave me the goods that went since?
16376III To whom used my boy George quaff else, By the old fool''s side that begot him?
16376III You and I would rather read that volume( Taken to his beating bosom by it), Lean and list the bosom- beats of Rafael, 20 Would we not?
16376IV Who?
16376IX Wherefore?
16376If He caught me here, O''erheard this speech, and asked"What chucklest at?"
16376If fetters, not a few, Of prejudice, convention, fall from me, These shall I bid men-- each in his degree Also God- guided-- bear, and gayly too?
16376If it hurts her, beside, can it ever hurt me?
16376If you would sit thus by me every night I should work better, do you comprehend?
16376In sight?
16376In the figure that follows, what do the moor and the eagle''s feather stand for?
16376In the least things have faith, yet distrust in the greatest of all?
16376In triumphs, people have dropped down dead,"Paid by the world, what dost thou owe Me?"
16376In what sense does the poet intend to"save"the building?
16376In what thought lies his sense of triumph?
16376Insulted by a lazy ribald With idle pipe and vesture piebald?
16376Is Saul dead?
16376Is he deterred by physical or moral fear?
16376Is he in any way unfitted for this life?
16376Is he not such an one as moves to mirth-- Warily parsimonious, when no need, Wasteful as drunkenness at undue times?
16376Is he right in saying music is less subject to laws than poetry and painting?
16376Is his art soulless because he has done wrong?
16376Is it convincing?
16376Is it ever hot in the square?
16376Is it love the lying''s for?
16376Is it too late then, Evelyn Hope?
16376Is one baffled by toad or by rat?
16376Is she poor?--What costs it to be styled a donor?
16376Is the creature too imperfect, say?
16376Is the ironical tone of these lines in harmony with the spirit of the rest of the poem?
16376Is the lightness of tone in the music itself or in the poet''s idea of Venice?
16376Is the verse musical?
16376Its employments?
16376Just as He favours Prosper, who knows why?
16376Just as he said this, what should hap At the chamber door but a gentle tap?
16376King Charles, and who''s ripe for fight now?
16376King Charles, and who''s ripe for fight now?
16376King Charles, and who''s ripe for fight now?
16376Last--Ah, there, what should I wish?
16376Lay on you the blame that bricks-- conceal?
16376Life, how and what is it?
16376Like the aimless, helpless, hopeless, did I drivel--Being-- who?
16376Long he lived nameless: how should spring take note Winter would follow?
16376Loved I not his letters ° full of beauty?
16376Mean your eyes should pierce thro''solid bricks?
16376More gaming debts to pay?
16376Must you go?
16376My dance is finished?"
16376My sons, ye would not be my death?
16376Night in the fosse?
16376No sketches first, no studies, that''s long past: I do what many dream of, all their lives,--Dream?
16376Not hear?
16376Not see?
16376Note the anti- climax in lines 25- 28: what is the effect?
16376Note the march- like and irregular movement of the verse: does it fit the theme?
16376Now, did you ever?
16376Now, what is it makes pulsate the robe?
16376Now, who shall arbitrate?
16376O my Athens-- Sparta love thee?
16376Of his art?
16376Of what use is she?
16376Oh, sir, she smiled, no doubt, Whene''er I passed her; but who passed without Much the same smile?
16376Or does he win the victory in finding the tower and blowing the challenge?
16376Or else kiss away one''s soul on her?
16376Or is it of its kind, perhaps, Just perfection-- 50 Whence, rejection Of a grace not to its mind, perhaps?
16376Or, is there something else for which the poem stands?
16376Or, its imprisoned vegetation?
16376Our dates shall we slight, When their juice brings a cure for all sorrow?
16376Out of what materials does Caliban build his conceptions of his deity?
16376Peep at hide- and- seek behind the shutters?
16376Persia has come, ° we are here, where is She?"
16376Please Him and hinder this?--What Prosper does?
16376Precaution, indeed?
16376Proves she as the paved work of a sapphire, Seen by Moses when he climbed the mountain?
16376Proves she like some portent of an iceberg Swimming full upon the ship it founders, 170 Hungry with huge teeth of splintered crystals?
16376Quick-- is it finished?
16376Reach the mooring?
16376Say''_ At least I saw who did not see me, Does see now, and presently shall feel_''?"
16376Shall we burn up, tread that face at once Into tinder, And so hinder Sparks from kindling all the place at once?
16376Since there my past life lies, why alter it?
16376Somebody remarks Morello''s outline there is wrongly traced, His hue mistaken; what of that?
16376Speak as they please, what does the mountain care?
16376Still, all I care for, if he spoke the truth,( What he?
16376Than I what godship to Athens more helpful of old?
16376That Cousin here again?
16376That in the mortar-- you call it a gum?
16376That lane sloped, much as the bottles do, From a house you could descry 10 O''er the garden- wall: is the curtain blue Or green to a healthy eye?
16376That they, unless thro''Him, do naught at all, And must submit: what other use in things?
16376That''s the tale: its application?
16376The present by the future, what is that?
16376The real question with Browning, as with any poet, is, What is his work and worth as an artist?
16376Then how grace a rose?
16376Then the pilots of the place put out brisk and leapt on board;"Why, what hope or chance have ships like these to pass?"
16376There''s yet Another child to save?
16376Therefore to whom turn I but to Thee, the ineffable Name?
16376They had answered"And afterward, what else?"
16376This man said rather,"Actual life comes next?
16376Those lesser thirds ° so plaintive, sixths ° diminished sigh on sigh, ° 19 Told them something?
16376Those loans?
16376Those suspensions, ° those solutions °--"Must we die?"
16376Those who had met their death on the plain?
16376Thou, heaven''s consummate cup, what needst thou with earth''s wheel?
16376Till, at ending, all the judges Cry with one assent"Take the prize-- a prize who grudges Such a voice and instrument?

28041IX Wherefore?
28041If He caught me here, O''erheard this speech, and asked,"What chucklest at?"
28041If I paint, Carve the young Phoebus, am I therefore young?
28041If care-- where is the sign?
28041If whoever loves Must be, in some sort, god or worshiper, The blessing or the blest- one, queen or page, Why should we always choose the page''s part?
28041If you would sit thus by me every night 205 I should work better, do you comprehend?
28041In sight?
28041In the least things have faith, yet distrust in the greatest of all?
28041In_ Colombe''s Birthday_ Valence says, Is the knowledge of her, naught?

28041Is it a bargain?
28041Is it better in May, I ask you?
28041Is it carelessness?
28041Is it ever hot in the square?
28041Is it love the lying''s for?
28041Is it scant of gear, has it store of pelf?
28041Is it so you said A plait of hair should wave across my neck?
28041Is it too late then, Evelyn Hope?
28041Is it too late to alter?
28041Is it true that we are now, and shall be hereafter, But what and where depend on life''s minute?
28041Is not that Pippa We are to talk to, under the window-- quick!-- Where the lights are?
28041Is this apparent, when thou turn''st to muse Upon the scheme of earth and man in chief, That admiration grows as knowledge grows?
28041Is this more right?
28041Is''t full morning?
28041It is life against life-- what good avails to the life- bereft?"

28041Let the visible go to the dogs-- what matters?"
28041Let this farce, this chatter, end now; what is it you want with me?
28041Let us throw off 40 This mask: how do you bear yourself?
28041Life, how and what is it?
28041Like the aimless, helpless, hopeless, did I drivel--Being-- who?
28041Long he lived nameless; how should Spring take note 35 Winter would follow?
28041Lost from the naked world; earth, sky, Hill, vale, tree, flower-- Italia''s rare O''errunning beauty crowds the eye-- But flame?
28041Love, does that please you?
28041MEMORABILIA Ah, did you once see Shelley plain, And did he stop and speak to you, And did you speak to him again?
28041Man might live at first The animal life: but is there nothing more?
28041May I take upon me to instruct you?

28041Mere withered wall flowers, waving overhead?
28041More gaming debts to pay?
28041Mother, they visit night by night--_ Mother._--You, Luigi?
28041Must I go Still like the thistle- ball, no bar, Onward, whenever light winds blow, Fixed by no friendly star?
28041Must I let villas and_ poderi_ go to you, a murderer and thief, that you may beget by means of them other murderers and thieves?
28041Must you go?
28041My Tydeus must be carved that''s there in clay; Yet how be carved, with you about the room?
28041My dance is finished"?
28041Night in the fosse?
28041No Virgin by him the somewhat petty, Of finical touch and tempera crumbly-- Could not Alesso Baldovinetti 215 Contribute so much, I ask him humbly?
28041No bidding me then to-- what did Zanze say?
28041No sketches first, no studies, that''s long past: I do what many dream of, all their lives,--Dream?
28041Not a churlish saint, Lorenzo Monaco?
28041Not hear?
28041Not see?
28041Not that, amassing flowers, Youth sighed,"Which rose make ours, Which lily leave and then as best recall?"
28041Now wait!--even I already seem to share In God''s love: what does New- year''s hymn declare?
28041Now, is this sense, I ask?
28041Now, what is it makes pulsate the robe?
28041Now, who shall arbitrate?
28041O my Athens-- Sparta love thee?
28041Oh, is it surely blown, my martagon?
28041Oh, sir, she smiled, no doubt, Whene''er I passed her; but who passed without Much the same smile?
28041On which I conclude, that the early painters, 145 To cries of"Greek Art and what more wish you?"
28041Or is the other fate in store, And art thou fitted to adore, To give thy wondrous self away, And take a stronger nature''s sway?

28041Take Asolo''s Four Happiest Ones-- And let thy morning rain on that superb Great haughty Ottima; can rain disturb Her Sebald''s homage?

28041Than I what godship to Athens more helpful of old?
28041That Cousin here again?
28041That imperfection means perfection hid, 185 Reserved in part, to grace the after- time?

28041They had answered,"And afterward, what else?"
28041This article, no such great shakes, Fizzes like wildfire?
28041This man said rather,"Actual life comes next?
28041This way?
28041This, Sebald?
28041Those lesser thirds so plaintive, sixths diminished, sigh on sigh, Told them something?
28041Those loans?
28041Those suspensions, those solutions--"Must 20 we die?"
28041Those?
28041Thou canst not think a mere barbarian Jew, As Paulus proves to be, one circumcised, Hath access to a secret shut from us?

28041Was I, the world arraigned, Were they, my soul disdained, 125 Right?
28041Was it love or praise?
28041Was it prose or was it rhyme, Greek or Latin?
28041Was''t not well contrived?
28041Was''t that we slept?
28041We were fellow mortals, naught beside?
28041We''ll even quarrel, love, at times, as if 90 We still could lose each other, were not tied By this-- conceive you?
28041Well, I could never write a verse-- could you?
28041Well, I must let you keep, as you say, this villa and that_ podere_, for fear the world should find out my relations were of so indifferent a stamp?
