'Poems and Ballads Third Series'. 'Caliban on Ariel'; 1885. Fair copy, with revisions in the last three lines, written on one side only of an octavo leaf of white laid paper. Watermark '[ ]garets / [a daisy] / [ ]erfine'. The text found in the fair copy is identical with that printed on p. 133 of the first edition. The MS. is entitled 'Caliban on Ariel', and the quotation which follows the title in the printed version is also found here. At the head of the leaf are the following words, later deleted by him, in Swinburne's hand: 'Proof to A. C. Swinburne / with copy. The Pines / Putney Hill / SW.' At the foot are the deleted signature 'A. C. Swinburne.', and the autograph note '(Written on the [appearance] publication of a Byronite libel [libel] on the memory of Shelley.)'. The sonnet was first published in the Athenæum for 4 July 1885. According to Wise, Ashley Catalogue, vi, p. 204, it was inspired by the publication of John Cordy Jeaffreson, The Real Shelley, 1885.
