Additional quotes by Lord Byron

As the liberty lads o'er the sea Bought their freedom, and cheaply, with blood, So we, boys, we Shall die fighting or live free, And down with all kings but King Ludd!

My boat is on the shore,
And my bark is on the sea;
But, before I go, Tom Moore.
Here's a double health to thee!

Mark! where his carnage and his conquests cease!
He makes a solitude, and calls it — peace!
