Word Entry "My Last Duchess"

1) "The Count your master's known munificence"(49)

2) My Guess: A complete guess, maybe arrogance

3) Definition: "Very liberal in giving, generous"( dictionary.com)

4) Now the dowry line makes sense, the Count is generous and no dowry or money will be disallowed. It is saying he gives his duchess many gifts.
