Whether Sheridan was likely to have been a reader of Angerianus is, I think, doubtful at all events the coincidence is curious. This song having been hitherto printed incorrectly, I shall give it here, as it is in the copies preserved by his relations.
I have elsewhere remarked that the conceit in the following stanza resembles a thought in some verses of Angerianus: And thou, stony grot, in thy arch may'st preserve Two lingering drops of the night-fallen dew, Let them fall on her bosom of snow, and they'll serve As tears of my sorrow entrusted to you. At quum per niveam cervicem influxerit humor Dicite non roris sed pluvia haec lacrimae.
