Note 1 — NATURALISM IN ENGLAND
Mary Morison translation
Should you feel any touch of poetical glow We've a Scheme to suggest—Mr. Scott, you must know, Having quitted the Borders, to seek new renown Is coming, by long Quarto stages, to Town. And beginning with Rokeby (the job's sure to pay) Means to do all the Gentlemen's Seats on the way. Now the Scheme is (though none of our hackneys can beat him) To start a fresh Poet through Highgate to meet him; Who, by means of quick proofs—no revises—long coaches, May do a few Villas, before Scott approaches. Moore: Intercepted Letters, No. 7.
