The Vision of Judgment 079

LXXIX 

For sometimes he like Cerberus would seem - 
'Three gentlemen at once' (as sagely says 
Good Mrs. Malaprop); then you might deem 
That he was not even one; now many rays 
Were flashing round him; and now a thick steam 
Hid him from sight - like fogs on London days: 
Now Burke, now Tooke he grew to people's fancies, 
And certes often like Sir Philip Francis. 

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
