348—to John Murray
Nov. 13, 1813.
Will you forward the letter to Mr. Gifford with the proof? There is an alteration I may make in Zuleika's speech, in second canto (the only one of
hers
in that canto). It is now thus:
And curse—if I could curse—the day.
It must be:
And mourn—I dare not curse—the day,
That saw my solitary birth, etc., etc.
Ever yours,
B.
In the last MS. lines sent, instead of "living heart," correct to "quivering heart." It is in line 9th of the MS. passage.
Ever yours again,
