I wish I thought it pretty it affects to [simplicite villagoise?] & the lines about thrushes & love love love--or the manner in which it was read vex'd me--because I wish to admire it'. |

| It would seem to be Samuel Rogers to whom Lady Caroline refers, yet I am unsure which of his poems she is describing. Perhaps "The Campagna of Florence", but I do not think the date (at least of its publication) would make this possible. Still, she could have heard a manuscript/draft version. |
