lines of poetry. The face is ugly, and rather hatchet-shaped,
with thick sensual lips, and is utterly unlike the poet himself, who was
very beautiful to look upon. 'His countenance,' says a lady who saw him
at one of Hazlitt's lectures, 'lives in my mind as one of singular beauty
and brightness; it had the expression as if he had been looking on some
glorious sight.' And this is the idea which Severn's picture of him
gives. Even Haydon's rough pen-and-ink sketch of him is better than this
'marble libel,' which I hope will soon be taken down. I think the best
representation of the poet would be a coloured bust, like that of the
young Rajah of Koolapoor at Florence, which is a lovely and lifelike work
of art.

{5} 'Make' is of course a mere printer's error for 'mock,' and was
subsequently corrected by Lord Houghton. The sonnet as given in _The
Garden_ of _Florence_ reads 'orbs for 'those.'

{115} September 1888.
