George Gordon Byron Quotes
They Accuse Me--Me--the Present Writer Of
The Present Poem--of--I Know Not What,--
A Tendency To Under-rate And Scoff
At Human Power And Virtue, And All That;
And This They Say In Language Rather Rough.
Good God! I Wonder What They Would Be At!
I Say No More Than Has Been Said In Dante's
Verse, And By Solomon And By Cervantes;
By Swift, By Machiavel, By Rochefoucault;
By Fenelon, By Luther And By Plato;
By Tillotson, And Wesley, And Rousseau,
Who Knew This Life Was Not Worth A Potato.
'Tis Not Their Fault, Nor Mine, If This Be So--
For My Part, I Pretend Not To Be Cato,
Nor Even Diogenes.--We Live And Die,
But Which Is Best, You Know No More Than I.
