Of these lines, in 9 and 10 the version given in text is later than the regular lines just quoted, and probably pre- ferred: in l. 11 the alternatives apparently of same date. 35. 'RIBBLESDALE. Stonyhurst, 1882.' Autograph in A. Text from later autograph in B, which adds 'companion to No. 10' (= 16). There is a third autograph in D, June '83 with different punctuation which gives the comma between _to_ and _with_ in line 3. The dash after _man_ is from A and D, both of which quote 'Nam expectatio creaturae ', &c. from Romans viii. 19. In the letter to R. W. D. he writes: '_Louched_ is a coinage of mine, and is to mean much the same as slouched, slouching, and I mean _throng_ for an adjective as we use it in Lancashire'. But _louch_ has ample authority, see the 'English Dialect Dictionary'. 36. 'THE LEADEN ECHO AND THE GOLDEN ECHO. Stony- hurst, Oct. 13, '82.' Autograph in A. Copy of this with autograph corrections dated Hampstead '81 (_sic_) in B.--Text takes all B's corrections, but respects punctuation of A, except that I have added the comma after _God_ in last line of p. 56. For the drama of Winefred, see among posthumous fragments, No. 58. In Nov. 1882 he wrote to me: 'I am somewhat dismayed about that piece and have laid it aside for a while. I cannot satisfy myself about the first line. You must know that words like _charm_ and _enchantment_ will not do: the thought is of beauty as of something that can be physically kept and lost and by physical things only, like keys; then the things must come from the _mundus muliebris_; and thirdly they must not be markedly oldfashioned. You will sec that this limits the choice of words very much indeed. However I shall make some changes. _Back_ is not pretty, but it gives that feeling of physical constraint which I want.' And in Oct. '86 to R. W. D., 'I never did anything more musical'. 37. 'MARY MOTHER OF DIVINE GRACE COMPARED TO THE AIR WE BREATHE. Stonyhurst, May '83.' Autograph in A.--Text and title from later autograph in B. Taken by Dean Beeching into 'A Book of Christmas Verse' 1895 and thence, incorrectly, by Orby Shipley in 'Carmina Mariana'. Stated in a letter to R. W. D. June 25, '83, to have been written to 'hang up among the verse com- positions in the tongues. ... I did a piece in the same metre as _Blue in the mists all day_.' Note Chaucer's account of the physical properties of the air, 'House of Fame', ii. 256, seq. 38. 'To WHAT SERVES MORTAL BEAUTY? (Common rhythm highly stressed: sonnet.) Aug. 23, '85.' Autograph in A.--Another autograph in B with a few variants from which A was chosen, the deletion of alternatives incom- plete. Thirdly a copy sent to R. W. D., apparently later than A, but with errors of copy. The text given is guided by this version in D, and _needs_ in line 9 is substituted there for the _once_ in A and B, probably because of _once_ in line 6.--Original draft exists in H, on same page with 39 and 40. The following is his signature at this date:
