Excerpt from The Works of the Rt. Hon. Lord Byron, Vol. 8 of 8

Don Juan.

Conto VII.

Oh Love! O Glory what are ye who fly
Around us ever, rarely to alight
There's not a metor in the Polar sky
Of such transcendent and more fleeting flight,
Chill and chained to cold earth, we lift on high
Our eyes in search of either lovely light;
A thousand and a thousand colours they
Assume, then leave us on our freezing way.

And such as they are, such my present tale is,
A non-descript and ever varying rhyme,
A versified Aurora Borealis,
Which flashes o'er a waste and icy clime.
When we know what all are, we must bewail us,
But ne'ertheless, I hope it is no crime
To laugh at all things - for I wish to know
What after all, are all things - but a Show

They accuse me - Me - the present writer of
The present poem - of - I know not what, -
A tendency to underrate 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!
