"Sonnets from the Portuguese," Port-uguese," she called them, Incorporating Incorporat-ing In the title a love name he had for her for he termed her the Portuguese Port-uguese because of her dark skin and eyea. Faulty, It may be confessed, these sonneta are hardly finished here and there, one might be tempted to say.
