'Dolores': a poem by A. C. Swinburne; [1865]. Early draft of lines 325-328, 365-368, 33-38, 41-48, and 19-24 in that order, written on one side only (f. 91a) of a quarto leaf of blue wove paper. No watermark. An early draft is described in Ashley Library Catalogue, vi, p. 71, where it is said to consist of four octavo pages. The present MS. has at one time been folded to form four octavo pages, though the text on the verso (f. 91b) is not, as Wise supposed, part of 'Dolores', but is the scheme of a projected novel. It is nevertheless clear that these two drafts are one and the same. Of this projected novel, to which Randolph Hughes in his edition of Swinburne's unfinished novel 'Lesbia Brandon' gave the title 'Herbert Winwood', one chapter, 'Uses of Prosody', and possibly part of another (a letter from Arden major to Lady Waristoun) survive, and are bound up with the MS. of 'Lesbia Brandon' (Ashley MS. 5264). The scheme is printed on pp. 319-320 of Hughes' edition of 'Lesbia Brandon'.
