(See note 1, p. 40-1, below.) Reprinted for the first time in vol. i. of the 6-vol. edition of the Poetical Works, 1868, with the following Forewords: "The poems that follow are printed [more or less] in the order of their publication. The first piece in the series [Pauline] I acknowledge and retain with extreme repugnance, indeed purely of necessity; for not long ago I inspected one, and am certified of the existence of other transcripts, intended sooner or later to be published abroad: by forestalling these, I can at least correct some misprints (no syllable is changed) and introduce a boyish work by an exculpatory word. The thing was my earliest attempt at poetry always dramatic in principle, and so many utterances of so many imaginary persons, not mine,' which I have since written according to a scheme less extravagant, and scale less impracticable, than were ventured upon in this crude preliminary sketch- -a sketch that, on reviewal, appears not altogether wide of some hint of the characteristic features of that particular dramatis persona it would fain have reproduced: good draughtmanship, however, and right handling were far beyond the artist at that time. R. B. London, December 25, 1867.' |
