Twins , The Analysis



Author: Poetry of Robert Browning Type: Poetry Views: 485





``Give'' and ``It-shall-be-given-unto-you.''



I.



Grand rough old Martin Luther

Bloomed fables---flowers on furze,

The better the uncouther:

Do roses stick like burrs?



II.



A beggar asked an alms

One day at an abbey-door,

Said Luther; but, seized with qualms,

The abbot replied, ``We're poor!



III.



``Poor, who had plenty once,

``When gifts fell thick as rain:

``But they give us nought, for the nonce,

``And how should we give again?''



IV.



Then the beggar, ``See your sins!

``Of old, unless I err,

``Ye had brothers for inmates, twins,

``Date and Dabitur.



V.



``While Date was in good case

``Dabitur flourished too:

``For Dabitur's lenten face

``No wonder if Date rue.



VI.



``Would ye retrieve the one?

``Try and make plump the other!

``When Date's penance is done,

``Dabitur helps his brother.



VII.



``Only, beware relapse!''

The Abbot hung his head.

This beggar might be perhaps

An angel, Luther said.
