Referring to such works as the translations of _Ce Qui ne Meurt pas_ and the _Satyricon_ which have heen issued under Oscar Wilde's name, Mr. Robert Ross (the editor of _De Profundis_), writes:--'No one can produce even a scrap of MS. in the author's handwriting of these so-called "last works."' [5] 'Scandals used to lend charm, or at least interest, to a man--now they crush him.'--_An Ideal Husband_, Act I. * * * * * TO OSCAR WILDE, AUTHOR OF 'RAVENNA.' BY AUGUSTUS M. MOORE. No Marsyas am I, who singing came To challenge King Apollo at a Test, But a love-wearied singer at the best. The myrtle leaves are all that I can claim, While on thy brow there burns a crown of flame, Upon thy shield Italia's eagle crest; Content am I with Lesbian leaves to rest, Guard thou thy laurels and thy mother's name. I buried Love within the rose I meant To deck the fillet of thy Muse's hair; I take this wild-flower, grown against her feet, And kissing its half-open lips I swear, Frail though it be and widowed of its scent, I plucked it for your sake and find it sweet. MOORE HALL, SEPTEMBER, 1878. From _The Irish Monthly_, Vol. vi, No. 65. * * * * * LIST OF PUBLISHED WRITINGS OF OSCAR WILDE.
