Note gf — CANTO THE SECOND
Reading edition
Though Time not yet hath ting'd my locks with snow,[*] Yet hath he reft whate'er my soul enjoy'd.—[D.]
[*] "To Mr. Dallas.
If Mr. D. wishes me to adopt the former line so be it. I prefer the other I confess, it has less egotism—the first sounds affected.
Yours,
BYRON."
[Dallas assented, and directed the printer to let the Roll stand.]
