| Evidence: | Robert Southey to Grosvenor Charles Bedford, 25 January - 8 February 1793: Charles Collins has been so busy with his Lent verses that I see little of him — he is my monitor be you his — I catch him frequently reading the Basia of Johannes Secundus — he pleads the elegance of the composition but that will not atone for the whole tenor of the work. He laughs at my admonitions...' |
