Notes
Dating: Woodhouse dates "Ode to Apollo" to February 1815, but this is possibly a date of composition and not the date Woodhouse copied the lines. See Stillinger (1978, p. 54=0-541, 544). The note by Woodhouse was certainly written after the 1817 publication of Keats's Poems.
Garrod questions the attribution of "Lines written on 29 May" (p. lxxiii), but Stillinger (1978) accepts the Keats attribution.
Originally fols. 10-12 in Woodhouse's compilation of transcripts of John Keats's unpublished poetry, which is now at Harvard and generally cited as W².
Part of a large collection, assembled by Richard Woodhouse, of letters and manuscripts relating to the English poet John Keats. Items in the collection have been described in individual catalog records; see collection-level record for MA 215 for more information.

Provenance
Part of a collection assembled by Richard Woodhouse; by descent in 1834 to the publisher John Taylor; by descent in 1864 to his relatives, descending finally to his niece by marriage, Mrs. George Taylor of Bakewell, Derbyshire; purchased by Pierpont Morgan from the London dealer Frank T. Sabin in 1906.
Summary
A fair copy of two poems in the autograph of Richard Woodhouse. With a note by Woodhouse discussing Keats's poetry and comparing a line from the fourth stanza of "Ode to Apollo" to his sonnet "To my brother George," referencing the published (1817) version of the sonnet.
