Lincoln's Inn, Dec. 21. 1850.
"_Away, let nought to Love displeasing_" (Vol. ii., p. 519.).--This song,
usually entitled "_Winifreda_," has been attributed to Sir John Suckling,
but with what justice I am unable to say.
It has also acquired additional interest from having been set to music by
the first Earl of Mornington, the father of the Duke of Wellington.
The author should certainly be known; and perhaps some of your
correspondents can furnish a clue by which he may be discovered.
