INTRODUCTION TO THE _OCCASIONAL
PIECES_
(_POEMS_ 1809-1813; _POEMS_
1814-1816).
The Poems afterwards entitled "Occasional Pieces," which were
included in the several editions of the Collected Works issued by
Murray, 1819-1831, numbered fifty-seven in all. They may be
described as the aggregate of the shorter poems written between the
years 1809-1818, which the author thought worthy of a permanent
place among his poetical works. Of these the first twenty-nine appeared
in successive editions of _Childe Harold_ (Cantos I., II.) [viz. fourteen
in the first edition, twenty in the second, and twenty-nine in the seventh
edition], while the thirtieth, the _Ode on the Death of Sir Peter Parker_,
was originally attached to _Hebrew Melodies_. The remaining
twenty-seven pieces consist of six poems first published in the Second
Edition of the _Corsair,_ 1814; eleven which formed the collection
entitled "Poems," 1816; six which were appended to the _Prisoner of
Chillon_, December, 1816; the _Very Mournful Ballad_, and the
_Sonnet by Vittorelli_, which accompanied the Fourth Canto of
_Childe Harold_, 1818; the _Sketch_, first included by Murray in his
edition of 1819; and the _Ode to Venice_, which appeared in the same
volume as _Mazeppa_.
Thus matters stood till 1831, when seventy new poems (sixty had been
published by Moore, in _Letters and Journals_, 1830, six were
republished from Hobhouse's _Imitations and Translations_, 1809, and
four derived from other sources) were included in a sixth volume of the
Collected Works.
In the edition of 1832-35, twenty-four new poems were added, but four
which had appeared in _Letters and Journals_,
