Tennyson noted his acceptance of Moxon's offer in the margin of the letter.

Finally the funeral was set for November 18, and the elegy was ready within the available time. Although Tennyson had not brought it to the perfection that he would afterwards attain, it possessed the authentic cadence. He wished to honor the great Duke and was apparently satisfied to submit his lines to the verdict of readers and reviewers. A single octavo, bound in gray paper, the Ode, consisting of 251 lines of varying lengths, was published on November 16, two days before the funeral.[15] Undoubtedly Sir Charles is right that his hopes for the success of the poem were high.[16]
