The Vision of Judgment 104

CIV 

Saint Peter, who has hitherto been known 
For an impetuous saint, upraised his keys, 
And at the fifth line knock'd the poet down; 
Who fell like Phaeton, but more at ease, 
Into his lake, for there he did not drown; 
A different web being by the Destinies 
Woven for the Laureate's final wreath, whene'er 
Reform shall happen either here or there. 

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
