<P> We have already referred to the two drawbacks, of which we have to complain in particular: the one is the virtual encouragement of regicide, which we trust to see removed from the next edition, being as unnatural as it is immoral: the other is a careless audacity in treating of licentiousness, which in our eyes is highly reprehensible, though it may, no doubt, have been exhibited with a moral intention, and though Mr. Browning may plead the authority of Shakespeare, Goethe, and other great men, in his favour . </P> <P> Despite this, the most famous passage in the poem is charming in its innocence: </P> <P> The year's at the spring, And day's at the morn; Morning's at seven; The hill - side's dew - pearled; The lark's on the wing; The snail's on the thorn; God's in his heaven--All's right with the world! </P> <P> although the timing of this song renders it deeply ironic . </P>

God is on his throne and all's right with the world
