the poem, "My Last Dutchess, " by Robert Browning.
I think that the Duke was very in love with the
Dutchess, but was driven mad by her
unfaithfulness. I have considered the possibility
that he could be speaking with the future
Dutchess. He makes the explanation of the last
Dutchess a very secret and intimate moment by
saying, "since none puts by The curtain I have
drawn for you, but I. " He could be trying to give
the new wife-to-be fair warning....

subject to Polotsk, however the tribe freed
themselves in 1106, when they defeated the dukes
of Polotsk. The Lettigallians did indeed pay
tribute to Russia until the XIII century.

invincible armada is one that cannot be defeated,
yet the mighty fleet of warships that Spain sent
to invade England, was defeated so badly that
Spain could never again rule the oceans. How was
it possible that this armada, which had awed all
