TO HIS FRIEND JOHN WEBSTER, UPON HIS 'DUCHESS OF MALFI', by WILLIAM ROWLEY
First Line: I never saw thy duchess till the day Last Line: But never in her life so well before. Subject(s): Webster, John (1580-1625)
I never saw thy Duchess till the day That she was lively bodied in thy play: Howe'er she answered her low-rated love Her brothers' anger did so fatal prove, Yet my opinion is, she might speak more, But never in her life so well before.
