No. 9 is a very charming composition, rich both in air and harmony. Such music is worthy of such poetry. At the eighth bar of the second page is an error in accentuation, which may be corrected thus:
The Words are difficult to set, certainly, but ‘kiss’ must be the emphatic word, not ‘thy.’
Much of the little we have said of No. 3 applies to No. 10; we have to add that it is a duet in F sharp.
Nos. 11 and 12 do not, by many degrees, reach mediocrity.
