Notes

  • Dedication: Inscribed to the memory of Edward Fitzgerald, translator of the 'Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam' into English verse.
  • Epigraph: 'Fitzgerald, from thine home in yonder sphere, / Hark to this little chant of dole and cheer. / Behold the humble tribute which I bring / To thee, sweet singer whom I hold most dear...' [Two further stanzas follow].
