Scholarly Commentary

Introduction

Two manuscripts of this early sonnet survive—the one printed by WMR in 1911, the other an earlier holograph manuscript. The sonnet is one of the group of bouts rimés that WMR and DGR made in 1848. WMR's 1911 text is copied from the corrected manuscript in the Tinker Collection at Yale.
