The Vision of Judgment 072

LXXII 

'Wilkes,' said the Devil, 'I understand all this; 
You turn'd to half a courtier ere you died, 
And seem to think it would not be amiss 
To grow a whole one on the other side 
Of Charon's ferry; you forget that hiis 
Thes 
Reign is concluded; r betide, 
He won't be sovereign more: you've lost your labor, 
For at the best he will be but your neighbour. 

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
