Notes
The key is quoted in The Literary Career of Richard Graves, by Charles Jarvis Hill, Smith College Studies in Modern Languages, XVI, Nos. 1-3 (1934-35), 50; hereafter Hill.
Alumni Oxonienses, 1795-1886 records eight other Cholmeleys who either matriculated at, or were Fellows of, Magdalen.
Compare N. J. Lyons in Notes and Queries, 216 (1971), 63-67, belatedly noted, on the key to Graves's Spiritual Quixote.
See A. I. Hazeltine, A Study of Shenstone and his Critics, Menasha. The standard edition of the poetry is still that edited by G. Gilfillan (1854).
The Letters of William Shenstone, ed. by Marjorie Williams (1939), p. 539. There is no other reference to Foley in the Letters.
For this information and that on numbers 4, 9, and 10 I am indebted to the kindness of Professor Jerome J. McGann, of The Johns Hopkins University, editor of Byron's poems in progress.
The GM text brackets three lines as a triplet in place of the two couplets in the received text.
