 | The works of Lord Byron |  |
The Guardian Seraphs had retired on high,
Finding their charges past all care below;
Terrestrial business filled nought in the sky
Save the Recording Angel's black bureau;
Who found, indeed, the facts to multiply
With such rapidity of vice and woe,
That he had stripped off both his wings in quills,
And yet was in arrear of human ills.

With such rapidity of vice and woe,
That he had stripped off both his wings in quills,
And yet was in arrear of human ills.
