Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of the Right Honorable Lord Byron, Vol. 1 of 4: Childe Harold
Spenser, in which I propose'to give full scope to my inclination, and be either droll or pathetic, de scriptive or sentimental, tender or satirical, as the humour strikes me for', if I mistake not, the mes: sure which I have adopted admits equally of all these kinds of composition - Strengthened in my Opinion by such authority, and by the example of some in the highest order of Italian poets, I shall make no apology for attempts at similar variations in the following composition; satisfied that, if they are unsuccessful, their failure must be in the execu tion, rather than in the design sanctioned by-the practiw of Ariosto, Thomson, and Beattie.
