Who was Sophia Stacey?

Sophia Stacey was a friend of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, to whom he dedicated the Ode which begins:

Thou art fair, and few are fairer,

Of the nymphs of earth or ocean,

They are robes that fit the wearer -

Those soft limbs of thine whose motion,

Ever falls and shifts and glances

As the life within them dances''. The full version can be found in any complete collection of the poet's works.
