 | The Poetical Works of Ebenezer Elliott |  |
SPENSERIAN.
[Thou, Byron, wast—like him, the iron-crown'd—]
Thou, Byron, wast—like him, the iron-crown'd—Thought-stricken, scorch'd, and “old in middle age.”
“All-naked feeling's” restless victims bound,
Ill could renown your secret pangs assuage.
25
Both unbeloved, both peerless, both exil'd,
And prison'd both, though one could choose his cage;
Dying, he call'd, in vain, on wife and child;
And in your living hearts, the worm was domiciled.
