| Evidence: | In Byron's Journal (14 November 1813-19 April 1814), 17 November 1813, on his and Lady Oxford's shared enthusiasm for Lucretius: '[Lady Oxford] is an adept in the text of the original (which I like too); and when that booby Bus[by] sent his translating prospectus, she subscribed. But, the devil prompting him to add a specimen, she transmitted to him a subsequent answer, saying that, "after perusing it, her conscience would not permit her to remain on the list of subscribers."' |
