'Pride of Youth' by Dante Gabriel Rossetti; [1871]. Autograph draft, written on one side only of a quarto leaf of ruled white laid paper. No watermark. The text found in the MS. differs in two places from that printed in Ballads and Sonnets, 1881, p. 186. The sonnet is entitled 'Love's Changes' in Rossetti's hand. The poem is dated 1871 by W. M. Rossetti in The Works of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 1911. The leaf appears to have formed part of a notebook, for on the same side as the sonnet are the instructions for opening a safe, and the note 'To paint Virgin and Child - Child climbing up mother's bosom. Angels behind might hold branches of the Tree of Life and Tree of Knowledge. In distance might be seen Eden and flaming sword'. This design does not appear to have been painted. On the other side is a signed note by Rossetti concerning the composition of his juvenile poem, 'Sir Hugh the Heron' and its printing by his grandfather, G. Polidori, in 1843.
