my last duchess

• ‘neptune, taming a seahorse’
• ‘claus of innsbruck cast in bronze for me’
• ‘the curtain has drawn for you’
• ‘my last duchess, painted on the wall’
• ‘you / sir’
• ‘too easily impressed’
• ‘my gift of a 900 year old name’
• 'there she stands, as if alive'
• 'then all smiles stopped together'
