Who delivers the dramatic monologue in "my last duchees"? who is the listener?

Browning's most popular "My Last Duchess" appeared first in Dramatic lyrics in 1842. It is the finest examples of dramatic monologue. An ironic self-portrait of royalty is painted. The word spoken is to criticize the last duchess. The Duke of Ferrara is the only speaker and the emissary of a count is the listener. The listener is silent during the entire poem and asks about the smile of the last duchess in the portrait offstage. The listener is trying to negotiate the marriage between the duke and the count's daughter.

that's conceptually impossible.

if i wrote it, it wouldn't be a 'shakespeare' sonnet.

in 1636, roger williams settled at the tip of narragansett bay after being banished from the massachusetts bay colony for his religious views, on land granted to him by the narragansett tribe. he called the site "providence plantation" and declared it a place of religious freedom.
