349—to John Murray
Alteration of a line in Canto 2nd. Instead of:
And tints to-morrow with a fancied ray
Print:
And tints to-morrow with prophetic ray.
The evening beam that smiles the clouds away,
And tints to-morrow with prophetic ray;
Or,
And {gilds/tints} the hope of Morning with its ray;
Or,
And gilds to-morrow's hope with heavenly ray.
Dear Sir,—I wish you would ask Mr. G. which of them is best, or rather
not worst
.
Ever yours, B.
You can send the request contained in this at the same time with the
revise, after
I have seen the
said revise
.
