Felicia Hemans to John Lodge, July 1831, on visit to Woodstock, Ireland: 'Amongst other persons of the party was Mr Henry Tighe, the widower of the poetess [Mary Tighe]. He had just been exercising, I found, one of his accomplishments in the translation into Latin of a little poem of mine [identified by source editor as "The Graves of a Household"]; and I am told that his version is very elegant.'
