[16] See Hunt’s _Autobiography_, Vol. II, p. 216. It may be noted in passing that the _Indicator_ version of the Sonnet varies in some slight details from the Original in the volume of Dante referred to at page xliv, and from Lord Houghton’s text. It is natural to suppose that Hunt’s copy was the latest of the three; and his text is certainly an improvement on the others where it varies from them. [17] _The Papers of a Critic. Selected from the Writings of the late Charles Wentworth Dilke. With a Biographical Sketch by his Grandson, Sir Charles Wentworth Dilke, Bart., M.P., &c. In Two Volumes._ (London. John Murray, Albemarle Street. 1875.) See Vol. I, p. 11. [18] This sonnet occurs at page 128 of _The Garden of Florence; and other Poems. By John Hamilton_. (London: John Warren, Old Bond-street. 1821.) [19] _The Letters and Poems of John Keats._ In three volumes. (Dodd, Mead & Co., New York, 1883). Vol. I is called _The Letters of John Keats, edited by Jno. Gilmer Speed_: Vol. II and III, _The Poems of John Keats, with the Annotations of Lord Houghton and a Memoir by Jno. Gilmer Speed_. [20] _Keats by Sidney Colvin._ (Macmillan & Co., 1887). Mr. Colvin has also contributed to _Macmillan’s Magazine_ (August, 1888) an Article _On Some Letters of Keats_, which I have also duly consulted.

[22] Charlotte, Mr. Colvin calls her; but her name was Jane. [23] These two words are wanting in the original. [24] His brother, “poor Tom,” had died about seven months before the date of this letter. [25] Ev’n mighty Pam, that kings and queens o’erthrew, And mow’d down armies in the fights of Loo, Sad chance of war! now destitute of aid, Falls undistinguish’d by the victor Spade!— Pope’s _Rape of the Lock_, iii, 61-4. [26] Fanny’s younger sister: see Introduction. [27] The word _Newport_ is not stamped on this letter, as on Numbers I, II, and IV; but it is pretty evident that Keats and his friend were still at Shanklin. [28] I am not aware of any other published record that this name belonged to Keats’s Mother, as well as his sister and his betrothed. [29] Samuel Brawne, the brother of Fanny: see Introduction. [30] I am unable to obtain or suggest any explanation of the allusion made in this strange sentence. It is not, however, impossible that “the Bishop” was merely a nickname of some one in the Hampstead circle.
