At the height of his powers the Irish Poet Thomas Moore was considered equal in stature to his friend Lord Byron and also to Sir Walter Scott.
He was the son of a grocer but was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and published his first work in 1801. He is mostly remembered for his Irish Melodies which appeared in ten parts between 1807 and 1835.
