IN Nottingham county there lives at Swan Green,[1] As curst an old Lady as ever was seen; And when she does die, which I hope will be soon, She firmly believes she will go to the Moon! 1798. [First published, _Letters and Journals_, 1830, i. 28.] FOOTNOTES: [1] "Swan Green" should be "Swine Green." It lay about a quarter of a mile to the east of St. James's Lane, where Byron lodged in 1799, at the house of a Mr. Gill. The name appears in a directory of 1799, but by 1815 it had been expunged or changed _euphoniæ gratiâ_. (See _A New Plan of the Town of Nottingham_, ... 1744.) Moore took down "these rhymes" from the lips of Byron's nurse, May Gray, who regarded them as a first essay in the direction of poetry. He questioned their originality. EPITAPH ON JOHN ADAMS, OF SOUTHWELL, A CARRIER, WHO DIED OF DRUNKENNESS. JOHN ADAMS lies here, of the parish of Southwell, A _Carrier_ who _carried_ his can to his mouth well; He carried so much and he carried so fast, He could carry no more--so was carried at last; For the liquor he drank being too much for one, He could not _carry_ off;--so he's now _carri-on_. _September_, 1807. [First published, _Letters and Journals_, 1830, i. 106.] [Illustration: MRS. BIRDMERE'S HOUSE, SOUTHWELL.] A VERSION OF OSSIAN'S ADDRESS TO THE SUN. FROM THE POEM "CARTHON."
