“MY DEAR BRIDGET,

“I have only just dismounted from my Pegasus, which has prevented me from descending to plain prose in an epistle of greater length to your fair self. You regretted in a former letter, that my poems were not more extensive; I now for your satisfaction announce that I have nearly doubled them, partly by the discovery of some I conceived to be lost, and partly by some new productions. We shall meet on Wednesday next; till then believe me yours affectionately,

Byron.

* The verses “To beautiful Quaker,” In his first volume, were written at Harrowgate.

† A horse of Lord Byron’s:—the other horse that he had with him at this time was called Sultan.

“P.S. Your brother John is seized with a poetic mania, and is now rhyming away at the rate of three lines per hour—so much for inspiration! Adieu!”
