POEMS
ByV.
Author of ‘Paul Ferroll.’Including THE ‘IX. POEMS.’ “Of IX. Poems by V. we emphatically say, in old Greek, βαια μεν αλλα ροδα. It is an Ennead to which every Muse may have contributed her Ninth. The stanzas printed by us in Italics are, in our judgment, worthy of any one of our greatest poets in his happiest moments.” —Quarterly Review, Sept. 1840London: Longmans, Green, and Co.
