In a Gondola by Robert Browning
I didn't really understand this poem. I think the rhyming pattern was unique, though. I don't know what it has to do with the title.

I think it has to do with the gondolier singing this message to a woman he loves and meets him in his Gondola; which she responds to. She is traveling-it seems as if they are having an affair. She is obviously the asking him to call her by her "pet name". Thus he knows her well. Very well.
