Transcript in an unidentified neat and legible hand, entitled
The Triumphs of Owen. A Fragment
(p. 93) (Ode X. [p. 95]). The
poem, which includes Gray's notes and the additional lines after
l. 26 by Mason, is
part of a section called Poems, which is
separately paginated and has its own table of contents (p. 129), in a
volume entitled Gray's Poems. The book
carries the bookplate of Gray's friend and biographer William Mason.
