ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the lines that are written in Nbk 10, on the same page with the first stanza of To Sophia'; for the possible adaptation of that poem from what was originally an unused stanza for Asia's song at the end of PU II v, see head note to To Sophia'. Various suggestions have been made about the proper context of the present lines, and they too may be a discarded passage for PU; but they are probably related to the same impulse which produced other fanciful fragments nearby in the nbk, and may therefore date from around S'. s arrival in Rome for his second visit, in early March 1819, published in Relics. Follow to the deep wood, sweetest Follow to the wild briar dingle, no eye thou therein meetest when the author sink to intermingle and the violet tells no tale.
