rif. 11379Without date or place the poem published in 1849. 2pp. 4to. 35 lines of verse. On a leaf of laid paper with watermark 'J WHATMAN TURKEY MILL'. Paginated 13-14. Very good on lightly-aged paper. The first page begins with the line 'The shrouding soil and give it back to air' and the second page ends with the line 'Won it's sic dark truth and Gaspar fed on such.' The verses in this manuscript are published on pp.19-21 of 'A Day at Tivoli: with other Verses' London: Longman Brown Green and Longmans Paternoster-row 1849. There are two emendations to the manuscript: the second word of the phrase 'or boundary steeps' has been crossed out and replaced with 'rocky' which is the published reading; and the words 'thown out in gest or face' have been crossed out and replaced wtih 'in gesture or in face' the published reading being 'in gesture and sic in face'. A 28-line passage has been marked out with a cross in the margin at beginning and end and the leaf was perhaps sent to a printer for the republication of this extract which begins 'Oh Italy! if fallen as some delight To say thou art yet fallen from what vast height;'. Without date or place [the poem published in 1849]. unknown
