	Swinburne's "Hymn to Proserpine" and the Dramatic Monologue
		"The Triumph of Time" dramatizes the mind of one who experiences the loss of his beloved, and "Hymn to Proserpine" presents the experience of a Roman of the fourth century A. who is losing his gods, the old pagan deities, now that Christianity has become the official religion of the state.
		In "Hymn to Proserpine" Swinburne also concerns himself to embody specific historical conditions by means of a fictional character who thus becomes a representative man. Furthermore, again like Browning, he chooses a figure living in an age of transition from one religion to another.
		Whereas Browning's "Cleon" takes the form of high intellectual satire, as do many of his other poems such as "Caliban upon Setebos" (1864) and "The Bishop Orders His Tomb at St. Praxed's Church," Swinburne's poem both makes us understand the pagan's point of view and suggests that it is one suitable for the nineteenth century.
