A letter in the Literary Supplement of "The Times": A Rhyme in Browning Sir,— Lines 93 to 96 in "Flutc-Music, with an Accompaniment" ("Asolando," 1800). are printed and reprinted thus: After making captive All th; world, rewarded Amply by one stranger's rapture, Common praise discarded. "Unexpectedness enhances," true, but U this a quirk of deliberate fun in a piece of 192 lines of otherwise exact rhyming? May not the poet have written, or intended to write, "capture Of the world."
