Pray, write to me about Meghanad. I am looking out with something like suspended breath for your verdict. A few hours after we parted, I got a severc attack of fever and was laid up for sfx or seven days. It was a struggle whether Meghanad, will finish mc or I finish him. Thank Heaven, I have triumphed. He is dead, that is to say, I have finished the VI. Book in about 75O lines. It cost me many a tear to kill him. However, you will have an opportunity of judging for yourself one of these days. The Poem is rising into splendid popularity. Some say it is better than Milton-but that is all boshnothing can be better than Milton ; many say it licks Kalidasa ; I have no objection to that. I don't think it impossible to equal Virgil, Kalidasa and Tasso. Though glorious, still they are mortal poets : Milton is divine. Do write to me what you think, old man. Your opinion is better than the loud huzzas of a million of these fellows.
