My Last Duchess

    • (1) "That's my last duchess painted on the wall,/ Looking as if she were alive. I call/"
    • (2) "'Twas not/ Her husband's presence only, called that spot/ of joy into the Duchess' cheek"
    • (3) "as if she ranked/ My gift of a nine-hundred-year-old name/ with anybody's gift"
