The "Separation" and its consequent exile afforded a pretext and an opportunity for the publication of a crop of spurious verses. Of these _Madame Lavalette_ (first published in the _Examiner_, January 21, 1816, under the signature B. B., and immediately preceding a genuine sonnet by Wordsworth, "How clear, how keen, how marvellously bright!") and _Oh Shame to thee, Land of the Gaul!_ included by Hone, in _Poems on his Domestic Circumstances_, 1816; and _Farewell to England_, _Ode to the Isle of St. Helena_, _To the Lily of France_, _On the Morning of my Daughter's Birth_, published by J. Johnston, 1816, were repudiated by Byron, in a letter to Murray, dated July 22, 1816. A longer poem entitled _The Tempest_, which was attached to the spurious _Pilgrimage to the Holy Land_, published by Johnston, "the Cheapside impostor," in 1817, was also denounced by Byron as a forgery in a letter to Murray, dated December 16, 1816. The _Triumph of the Whale_, by Charles Lamb, and the _Enigma on the Letter H_, by Harriet Fanshawe, were often included in piratical editions of Byron's _Poetical Works_. Other attributed poems which found their way into newspapers and foreign editions, viz. (i.) _To my dear Mary Anne_, 1804, "Adieu to sweet Mary for ever;" and (ii.) _To Miss Chaworth_, "Oh, memory, torture me no more," 1804, published in _Works of Lord Byron_, Paris, 1828; (iii.) lines written _In the Bible_, "Within this awful volume lies," quoted in _Life, Writings, Opinions, etc_., 1825, iii. 414; (iv.) lines addressed to (?) George Anson Byron, "And dost thou ask the reason of my sadness?" _Nicnac_, March 29, 1823; (v.) _To Lady Caroline Lamb_, "And sayst thou that I have not felt," published in _Works, etc_., 1828; (vi.) lines _To her who can best understand them_, "Be it so, we part for ever," published in the _Works of Lord Byron, In Verse and Prose_, Hartford, 1847; (vii.) _Lines found in the Travellers' Book at Chamouni_, "How many numbered are, how few agreed!" published _Works, etc_., 1828; and (viii.) a second copy of verses with the same title, "All hail, Mont Blanc! Mont-au-Vert, hail!" _Life, Writings, etc_., 1825, ii. 384; (ix.) _Lines addressed by Lord Byron to Mr. Hobhouse on his Election for Westminster_, "Would you get to the house by the true gate?" _Works, etc_., 1828; and (x.) _Enigma on the Letter I_, "I am not in youth, nor in manhood, nor age," _Works, etc_., Paris, p. 720, together with sundry epigrams, must, failing the production of the original MSS., be accounted forgeries, or, perhaps, in one or two instances, of doubtful authenticity. The following poems: _On the Quotation_, "_And my true faith_" etc.; [_Love and Gold_]; _Julian_ [_a Fragment_]; and _On the Death of the Duke of Dorset_, are now published for the first time from MSS. in the possession of Mr. John Murray.
