the poem if thou must love me from sonnets from the portuguese xxiv by elizabeth bardet browning

The "Sonnets from the Portuguese" were not, as sometimes supposed, translations from the Portuguese. On account of her olive complexion Elizabeth Barrett was frequently referred to by Robert Browning as "my Portuguese," which prompted her later when she became his wife to show him the now famous sonnets, entitling them "Sonnets from the Portuguese."
