Additional Information:
This commonplace book is undated. However, given that it is embossed with the initials 'W.L', it seems likely that she began making entries sometime after her marriage to William Lamb. The John Murray Archive is currently re-cataloging all of the Byron papers, so the reference for this manuscript will change.

Additional Comments:
Lady Caroline herself does not give the entry a title and has not attributed these lines to Moore, but they are surely his. Transcribed by Lindsey Eckert.
