Note 49 — POEMS OF JULY-SEPTEMBER, 1816. THE DREAM.
Reading edition
[An old servant of the Chaworth family, Mary Marsden, told Washington Irving (Abbotsford and Newstead Abbey, 1835, p. 204) that Byron used to call Mary Chaworth "his bright morning star of Annesley." Compare the well-known lines—
"She was a form of Life and Light, That, seen, became a part of sight; And rose, where'er I turned mine eye, The Morning-star of Memory!"
The Giaour, lines 1127-1130, Poetical Works, 1900, iii. 136, 137.]
