TO EDWARD FITZGERALD.
I chanced upon a now book yesterday : I openod it, and where my finder lay 'Twixt page and \incut page, these words I read — Some six or seven at tnoat— and learned thereby That you, Fitzgerald, whom by ear and eye She nover know, " thanked God my wife was dead." Ay, dead ! and were yourself alive. Rood Fit/-, How to return you thanks would task my wits; Kicking you seems the common lot of cursWhile more appropriate greeting lends yon grace : Surely to spit there glorifies yonr faceSpitting— from lips once sanctified by Hers. Robert Browning. July 8, 1889.
