Poems and Ballads. 'The Leper'; [1857-1860]. Draft, entitled 'A Vigil', written on writing paper of the Oxford Union Society, watermarked '1857'. Swinburne remained at Oxford in statu pupillari until June 1860. The draft, of eight stanzas, is evidently an early version of 'The Leper' (printed on pp. 137-143 of the first edition) ― indeed the last stanza of the two poems is the same, with the exception of one word, and stanza 5 of 'A Vigil' and stanza 28 of 'The Leper' are identical.
Octavo; f. i+1.
