Redworth did; and that the latter, without consulting her, should be 'one of the plaintive crew whining about the heels of the Plaintiff for a mercy she disdained and rejected' was bitter to her taste. 'He does not see that unless I go through the fire there is no justification for this wretched character of mine! she exclaimed.
In spite of all his faults and there are few poetic faults in which he does not indulge, to their very highest power in spite of his "interfluous" and "innumerous," and the rest of his bad English in spite of bombast, horrors, maundering, sheer stuff and nonsense of all kinds, there is a plaintive natural melody about this man, such as no other English poet has ever uttered, except Shakespeare in some few immortal songs.
