As late as mid‐January 1822, Shelley had been enthusiastic about the way he and Byron had been 'constant companions' in Pisa. In March 1822 Shelley had gone to Lerici house‐hunting, as had Williams, but neither had found anything suitable, only a lonely white boathouse with arches called Villa Magni that was too small for them all. Edward and Jane Williams and their two children could still find nowhere to live, even after arriving in Lerici. All they could do was bring both boats across the bay, unload them on to the rocky outcrops below the Villa Magni and pile everything into the house. The song 'To Jane' sent to Jane and Williams was probably private, and not for public performance, but a lyric certainly sung by Jane was the 'Indian Girl's Song': she would write to Mary in December 1822 asking for a copy of Shelley's words: she knew them from earlier in the year.
