Abstract
TO A YOUNG LADY WITH A CONTRALTO VOICE, On her singing, on a warm summer's afternoon, without accompaniment, save the music of the birds heard through the open windows of the author's rooms overlooking the beautiful garden of New college, Oxford, the old English ditty, “Deck not with gems that lovely form for me,” in which occurs the line, “I must have loved thee hadst thou not been fair.”
