Lord Byron

Lord Byron

Epigram, on the Braziers’ Company Having Resolved to Present an Address to Queen Caroline

The braziers, it seems, are preparing to pass
An address, and present it themselves all in brass,—
A superfluous pageant-for, by the Lord Harry!
They’ll find where they’re going much more than they carry.
