Don Juan 00-13
Dedication

     XIII
An orator of such set trash of phrase
     Ineffably - legitimately vile,
That even its grossest flatterers dare not praise,
     Nor foes - all nations - condescend to smile,?
Not even a sprightly blunder's spark can blaze
     From that Ixion grindstone's ceaseless toil,
That turns and turns to give the world a notion
Of endless torments and perpetual motion.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824) ByronLong
