Note 7 — THE PRISONER OF CHILLON
Reading edition
{15}[Compare—
"One little marshy spark of flame."
Def. Trans., Part I. sc. I.
Kölbing notes six other allusions in Byron's works to the "will-o'-the-wisp," but omits the line in the "Incantation" (Manfred, act i. sc. I, line 195)—
"And the wisp on the morass,"
which the Italian translator would have rendered "bundle of straw" (see Letter to Hoppner, February 28, 1818, Letters, 1900, iv. 204, note 2, et post p. 92, note 1).]
