At all events, nothing further was done by Coleridge with respect to the translation of "Faust," which is to be deplored, as his exquisite and original melody of versification might have produced a translation almost as great as the original.
Shortly after Coleridge took up his residence with the Gillmans at Highgate, and his intercourse with Murray recommenced.

Lord Byron, while on the managing committee of Drury Lane Theatre, had been instrumental in getting Coleridge's "Remorse" played upon the stage, as he entertained a great respect for its author.

He was now encouraging Mr.
Murray to publish other works by Coleridge--among others, "Zapolya" and "Christabel." On April 12, 1816, Coleridge gave the following lines to Mr.Murray, written in his own hand: [Footnote: The "Song, by Glycine" was first published in "Zapolya: A Christmas Tale," 1817, Part II., Act ii., Scene I.It was set to music by W.Patten in 1836; and again, with the title "May Song," in 1879, by B.H.

Loehr.] GLYCINE: Song.
"A sunny shaft did I behold, From sky to earth it slanted, And pois'd therein a Bird so bold-- Sweet bird! thou wert enchanted! He sank, he rose, he twinkled, he troll'd, Within that shaft of sunny mist: His Eyes of Fire, his Beak of Gold, All else of Amethyst! And thus he sang: Adieu! Adieu! Love's dreams prove seldom true.
Sweet month of May! we must away! Far, far away! Today! today!" In the following month (May 8, 1816) Mr.Coleridge offered Mr.Murray his "Remorse" for publication, with a Preface.

He also offered his poem of "Christabel," still unfinished.
