280 CCXXXV Two intermediate stanzas have been here omitted. They are very ingenious, but, of all poetical qualities, ingenuity is least in accordance with pathos.

295 CCXLIII This poem has an exaltation and a glory, joined with an exquisiteness of expression, which place it

in the highest rank amongst the many masterpieces

of its illustrious Author.

306 CCLII interlunar swoon: interval of the Moon's invisibility. 313 CCLVI Calpe: Gibraltar. Lofoden: the Maelstrom whirlpool off the N. W. coast of Norway.

315 CCLVII This lovely poem refers here and there to a ballad by Hamilton on the subject better treated in cxxvII and

CXXVIII.

330 CCLXVIII Arcturi: seemingly used for northern stars. — And wild roses &c. Our language has no line modulated with more subtle sweetness. A good poet might have written And roses wild: -yet this slight change would disenchant the verse of its peculiar beauty.

334 CCLXX Ceres' daughter: Proserpine. God of Torment:

Pluto.

CCLXXI This impassioned address expresses Shelley's most rapt imaginations, and is the direct modern representative of the feelings which led the Greeks to the worship of Nature.

345 CCLXXIV The leading idea of this beautiful description of a day's landscape in Italy is expressed with an obscurity not unfrequent with its author. It appears to be, — On the voyage of life are many moments of pleasure, given by the sight of Nature, who has power to heal even the worldliness and the uncharity of man.

4 Amphitrite was daughter to Ocean.

1. 22 Sun-girt City: It is difficult not to believe that the correct reading is Sea-girt. Many of Shelley's poems appear to have been printed in England during his residence abroad: others were printed from his manuscripts after his death. Hence probably the text of no English Poet after 1660 contains so many errors. See the Note on No. IX.

351 CCLXXV 1. 21 Maenad: a frenzied Nymph, attendant on Dionysus in the Greek mythology.

of the land, and hence with the winds which affect them.

353 CCLXXVI Written soon after the death, by shipwreck, of Wordsworth's brother John. This Poem should be compared with Shelley's following it. Each is the most complete expression of the innermost spirit of his art given by these great Poets:- of that Idea which, as in the case of the true Painter, (to quote the words of Reynolds,) 'subsists only in the mind: The sight never beheld it, nor has the hand expressed it; it is an idea residing in the breast of the artist, which he is always labouring to impart, and which he dies at last without imparting.'

356 CCLXXVIII Proteus represented the everlasting changes, united with ever-recurrent sameness, of the Sea.

357 CCLXXIX the royal Saint: Henry VI.
