  • (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"
  • (4) "but who passes without/ Much the same smile? This grew; I gave commands; / Then all smiles stopped together"
  • (5) "Notice Neptune, though, / Taming a sea-horse, thought a rarity,/ which Claus of Innsbruck cast in bronze for me!"
