Lost Chords. By W. Moore. (Parker and Co.)—" Sulamith "

does not seem to us a happy lyrical rendering of Solomon's Song.

This is, however, in Canto vi. a graceful and flowing chorus, a very happy effort. Mr. Moore's sonnets are much above the average ; they have a flow of language and a vivid force that are very good indeed ; there is no halting or want of connection, all goes smoothly and yet vigorously.
