This poem of Robert Browning is a folk tale retold. This time, only it is done with a typical tinge of humor, or shall I say 'satire'? The dramatic way in which he provides all the details of where the town of Hamelin was located, what was the condition of the people of that town and how they agreed to pay a piper to rid them of the mice. The, obvoiusly backed out, and lost their children to the same piper. The story does have a moral. Find it yourself!
