Chorley. She did not ask for mine. | I immediately wrote to Chorley, and he promptly replied. | [But not for Hope I pray, to day contriving | Tomorrow's dreams. | Only for Patience, through long years of striving | Against the stream. | H: F: Chorley.] | And I came down on him, as follows. | [Yet Love might give thee Patience in contriving | That morrow's Dream. | Art - Letters - Fancy - were coldly striving | Against the stream | that shines and smiles, and dances, in his beam. | RJL] | Richd: J: Lane'.
