Don Juan 03-046
Canto the Third

     XLVI
I said that Lambro was a man of patience,
     And certainly he show'd the best of breeding,
Which scarce even France, the paragon of nations,
     E'er saw her most polite of sons exceeding;
He bore these sneers against his near relations,
     His own anxiety, his heart, too, bleeding,
The insults, too, of every servile glutton,
Who all the time was eating up his mutton.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
