'Your lyrics found me dull as prose': verses by Elizabeth Barrett Browning; 1836. Autograph draft of lines 1-16, written on one side only of a scrap of cream wove paper 114 x 114mm. No watermark. A fair copy of the verses, consisting of twenty four lines, was enclosed by Elizabeth in a letter to H. S. Boyd, postmarked 26 Nov. 1836. Both are preserved at Wellesley College, Wellesley, Massachusetts. Two scraps of paper, one measuring 4.5 x 2.75 inches and bearing a draft of the beginning of the letter to Boyd on the recto and a draft of lines 21-24 on the verso, were sold at Parke Bernet, 22-23 October 1945, lot 97. They probably once formed part of the same MS. as B234. The fair copy is printed in Letters of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 1897, ed. F. G. Kenyon, vol. I,p. 40. The text found on the two scraps of paper is printed in Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Hitherto Unpublished Poems and Stories, 1914, vol. II, pp. 193-194. The text found in the present MS. differs in several places from that printed in Letters, 1897. [Ashley Library Catalogue, i, p. 105].
