Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Lord Byron: With Memoir and the Original Explanatory Notes, &C
Byron's residence at Cambridge (trinity College, 1805 to 1808, with interval of a year) added little to his knowledge of academical learning. The arts in which he qualified himself to graduate were swimming, riding, fencing, boxing, drinking, gaming, and the other occupations of idle undergraduates. \vhen he went up to Cam bridge he was wretched, he tells us, partly from leaving Harrow, chie?y, it may-be presumed, from the want of money. His friend, Scrope Davies, lent him large sums, and he lived with a certain degree of reckless happiness.
