stanza x.x.xiv. line 6: _Poetical Works_, 1899, ii, 74, 260, 354.]
[js] {337} ----_around another's mind;_ _There he was fixed_----.--[MS.]
[jt] {338} _That friends.h.i.+p, interest, aversion knew_ _But there within your inmost_----.--[MS.]

[280] [Mr. Alexander Dyce points out the resemblance between these lines and a pa.s.sage in one of Pope's letters to Steele (July 15, 1712, _Works_, 1754, viii. 226): "The morning after my exit the sun will rise as bright as ever, the flowers smell as sweet, the plants spring as green."]
