TO ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING
In Latian verse thy name would I inscribe,But thou hast graven it in adamant
Where Shakespeare and where Milton once wrote theirs.
Browning! if Sappho and Corinna bore
The prize of beauty, they both waft aside
The crown of laurel, now another's due.
Envious all poets are, and I confess
I envy one as women envy thee.
