[397] [The Spanish "renegado" and the Anglicized "renegade" were
favourite terms of reprobation with politicians and others at the
beginning of the century. When Southey's _Wat Tyler_ was reprinted in
1817, William Smith, the Member for Norwich, denounced the Laureate as a
"renegado," an attack which Coleridge did his best to parry by
contributing articles to the _Courier_ on "Apostasy and Renegadoism"
(Letter to Murray, March 26, 1817, _Memoir of John Murray_, 1891, i.
306). Byron himself, in _Don Juan_ ("Dedication," stanza i. line 5),
hails Southey as "My Epic Renegade!" Compare, too, stanza xiv. of
"_Lines addressed to a Noble Lord_ (His Lordship will know why), By one
of the small Fry of the Lakes" (i.e. Miss Barker, the "Bhow Begum" of
Southey's _Doctor_)--

"And our Ponds shall better please thee,
Than those now dishonoured seas,
With their shores and Cyclades
Stocked with Pachas, Seraskiers,
Slaves and turbaned Buccaneers;
Sensual Mussulmans atrocious,
Renegadoes more ferocious," etc.]

But even the faintest relics of a shrine
Of any worship wake some thoughts divine."]
