Over the years, others wrote works dependent on the "Pilgrimage" to a greater or lesser degree. George Croly celebrated the victory at the Battle of Waterloo with his "Paris in 1815: A Poem" (London, 1817). It was prefaced by 21 Spenserian stanzas in the Byronic manner, followed by many more sections in couplets. This was followed in 1818 by the anonymous collection "Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage to the Dead Sea (and other poems)". There the Byronic outcast of the title poem relates a catalogue of sins through thirty pages of irregular couplets, wound up by a call to last minute repentance. By 1820 the habit of imitation had crossed to the US, where five Spenserian stanzas dependent on the "Pilgrimage"'s Canto II were published under the title "Childe Harold in Boetia" in "The Galaxy".
