Note 182 — THE BRIDE OF ABYDOS.[124]
Reading edition
[The omission of lines 938, 939 drew from Byron an admission (Letter to Murray, November 29, 1813) that "the passage is an imitation altogether from Medea in Ovid" (Metamorph., vii. 66-69)—
"My love possest, in Jason's bosom laid, Let seas swell high;—I cannot be dismay'd While I infold my husband in my arms: Or should I fear, I should but fear his harms."
Englished by Sandys, 1632.]
