Explore "The Two Poets of Croisic" by Robert Browning on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
What a pretty tale you told me / Once upon a time / -- Said you found it somewhere (scold me! ) / Was it prose or was it rhyme, / Greek or Latin? Greek, you said, / While your shoulder propped my head.
Anyhow there 's no forgetting / This much if no more, / That a poet (pray, no petting! ) / Yes, a bard, sir, famed of yore, / Went where suchlike used to go, / Singing for a prize, you know.
