Canto the Fourth
 
 CIII

I canter by the spot each afternoon
 Where perish'd in his fame the hero-boy,
Who lived too long for men, but died too soon
 For human vanity, the young De Foix!
A broken pillar, not uncouthly hewn,
 But which neglect is hastening to destroy,
Records Ravenna's carnage on its face,
While weeds and ordure rankle round the base.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
