There was also a crop of French imitations on this occasion, of which the foremost was Alphonse de Lamartine's "Le Dernier Chant du Pélerinage d’Harold" (Paris, 1825). Despite the poet's assertion of the originality of his 'Fifth Canto', a contemporary English review found it often dependent on Byron's works. Its English translation by J. W. Lake, "The Last Canto of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage", was published from Paris in 1826. Another in heroic couplets followed from London in 1827. Another French enthusiast, Jules Lefèvre-Deumier, had actually been on the way to join Byron in Greece in 1823 but a shipwreck robbed him of the opportunity to join the cause. He too recorded a pilgrimage from Paris into Switzerland in "Les Pélerinages d’un Childe Harold Parisien", published in 1825 under the pseudonym D. J. C. Verfèle. In the following year Aristide Tarry published the pamphlet-length "Childe-Harold aux ruines de Rome: imitation du poème de Lord Byron", which was sold in aid of the Greek combatants.
