MOORE, Thomas.—[Songs in Thomas Moore's autograph] Oblong 8vo, red morocco, gilt edges.
Fifteen sheets of musical score, containing Moore's twelve "Legendary Ballads," in part, set to music by Bishop, May 10, 15, and 22, 1828, with the text in Moore's handwriting. The poems are The Voice, called in manuscript, The Legend of the Voice, 3 out of 7 stanzas; Cupid and Psyche, without title, 8 stanzas; Hero and Leander, called the Legend of Hero and Leander, 2 out of 3 stanzas; The Leaf and the Fountain, 5 stanzas; Cephalus and Procris, called The Hunter, 3 stanzas; The Indian Boat, 2 out of 3 stanzas; Youth and Age, without title, 3 out of 4 stanzas; The Dying Warrior, without title, 5 stanzas; The Magic Mirror, called The Legend of the Mirror, 6 out of 8 stanzas; The Pilgrim, without title, 4 stanzas; The High born Ladye, 8 stanzas without musical score on a separate sheet, with a note by Moore; and The Stranger, called The heart-wounded Stranger, 5 stanzas of score, and 3 on a separate sheet of paper.
The variations between the manuscript and printed text are numerous, e.g., in The Voice, "soft as in hours of delight long ago" is printed (Poetical Works, 1841) "soft as in moments of bliss long ago;" "'twas in vain She tried to forget it" is printed "'twas in vain To chase the illusion."
