308. As was Priam's: see Il. xxiv 163.

310. Coinp. Milton's Epit. on the admirable dramatick Poet William Shakspeare, 7--17.

313. Leigh Hunt was Keats' earliest and chief poetical friend and adviser.

315. Shelley explains in his Preface why the true generous Severn is not introduced here. He did not know “the circumstances of the closing scene" till too late to celebrate Severn's conduct. 196. 321. Comp. extract from Byron to l. 267. See Preface to Endymion. 325. (Explain this line.]

See Shelley's Preface, on the critics of his day There too he singles out the special miscreant: "Miserable man! you, one of the meanest, have wantonly defaced one of the noblest specimens of the workmanship of God. Nor shall it be your excuse that, inurderer as you are, you have spoken daggers but used none." 343. Comp. Eur. Hippol. 190--8, Polyeid. Frag. 8:

“τις οίδεν εί το ζην μέν έστι κατθανείν,

το κατθανείν δε ζην κάτω νομίζεται και (comp. Arist. Ran. 1022, and 1404.) See also Milton's Sonnet on the Religious Memory of Mrs Catharine Thomson. 197. 356. He can never become worldly, and mean, and heartless.

385. as, 1. e. according as. 199. 395. there, i.e. in the region above the earth (1. 193) attained by the lofty-minded.

399. Chatterton. Coleridge also (see his Monody on the Death of Chatterton), and Wordsworth (see his Resolution and Independence), seem to have been decply impressed by

Chatterton's genius and fate. Keats dedicates his Endymion to his memory. Whatever the absolute merits of his writings, they are simply astonishing productions for a youth of sixteen. He was not eighteen when he ended his unhappy lise (Born Nov. 20, 1752 ; Died Aug. 25, 1770).

442. See Shelley's Preface: Keats “was buried in the romantic and lonely cemetery of the Protestants in that city, under the pyramid which is the tomb of Cestius, and the massy wails and towers, now mouldering and desolate, which forined the circuit of ancient Rome. The cemetery is an open space among the ruins, covered in winter with violets and daisies. It mnight make one in love with death to think that one should be buried in so sweet a place."
