Notice Neptune, though, taming a sea horse, thought a rarity, which Claus of Innsbruck cast in bronze for me!

The line “Notice Neptune, though, taming a sea horse, thought a rarity, which Claus of Innsbruck cast in bronze for me!” is from the poem “My Last Duchess” by Robert Browning. This particular line is spoken by the Duke in the poem as he shows off a bronze statue of Neptune taming a sea horse that was made for him by Claus of Innsbruck. The Duke is using this line to boast about his wealth and power, as well as his ability to commission such a rare and exquisite piece of art.
