44/53 Shelley showed his translation to Medwin in 1820, but there seems to be no record of the date of composition. See _Catalogue of Printed Music Published between 1487 and 1800 and now in the British Museum_, by W.Barclay Squire, 1912. Neither author nor composer is listed in the _Catalogue_. Clouds and darkness are substituted for starlight, silence for the sound of the wind. The weather here matches Mathilda's mood. |
