“Let Satire Be My Song”: Byron’s
English Bards, and Scotch Reviewers
Introduction
Time was, ere these degenerate days
Critics all are ready made
Let Satire be my song
I too can hunt a Poetaster down
Now to the Drama turn — Oh! motley sight!
Neglected Genius!
Yet once again adieu!
The binding of this volume is considerably too valuable for the Contents.
