Letter To Sir Henry Goodyere

Title:     Letter To Sir Henry Goodyere
Author: Samuel Taylor Coleridge [More Titles by Coleridge]

Stanzas II, III, IV, and a few words from Stanza V, are prefixed as the motto to Essay XV of _The Friend_, 1818, i. 179; 1850, i. 136.

For Stanza II, line 3--

But he which dwells there is not so; for he
_With him_ who dwells there 'tis not so; for he

For Stanza III--

So had your body her morning, hath her noon,
And shall not better, her next change is night:
But her fair larger guest, t'whom sun and moon
Are sparks, and short liv'd, claims another right.--

The motto reads:

_Our bodies had their_ morning, have their noon,
And shall not better--the next change is night,
But _their_ fair larger guest, t'whom sun and moon
Are sparks and short liv'd, claims another right.

The alteration was first noted in 1837. In 1850 line 3 of Stanza III 'fair' is misprinted 'far'.
