Lord Byron
And then he danced,-all foreigners excel the serious Angels in the eloquence of pantomime-he danced, I say, right well, with emphasis, and a'so with good sense-a thing in footing indispensable: he danced without theatrical pretence, not like a ballet-master in the van of his drill'd nymphs, but like a gentleman.
Lord Byron
Age shakes Athena's tower, but spares gray Marathon.
Lord Byron
The devil was the first democrat
Lord Byron
And Doubt and Discord step 'twixt thine and thee.

He learned the arts of riding, fencing, gunnery, And how to scale a fortress - or a nunnery.
Lord Byron
