Note 15 — Chapter III
Hubert E. H. (Hubert Edward Henry) Jerningham translation
Lord Byron wrote to Moore in November, 1820:—
"Pray, where did you get hold of Goethe's 'Florentine' husband-killing story? Upon such matters, in general, I may say, with Beau Clinker, in reply to Erraud's wife:—
"'Oh, the villain, he hath murdered my poor Timothy!'
"Clinker.—'Damn your Timothy! I tell you, woman, your husband has murdered me—he has carried away my fine jubilee clothes.'"
