William Lisle Bowles in Bremhill, Wiltshire - 6 November, 1823
from Memoirs, journal and correspondence of Thomas Moore, page 148:
Tried over some of Purcell’s songs for Bowles; one that I sung at first sight rather surprised him; and with “Mad Bess” he was enchanted. Said my performance of these things (he being all for the old school) had elevated his opinion of my musical powers exceedingly.
