yarb Reading the poem it's very much like an out-take from Don Juan, with its trademark vaunting, bathetic rhymes ("guttural / sputter all").
I think the last three stanzas are very funny - and as true today as ever!
Basically Byron is taking the piss here, and if anyone is allowed to do that, Byron is. Oct 9, 2008
bilby Worth clicking the link below if you take ghoulish pleasure in watching a capable poet produce a shocker. One verse is as much as I can bear to post here:
With all its sinful doings, I must say,
That Italy’s a pleasant place to me,
Who love to see the sun shine every day,
And vines (not nailed to walls) from tree to tree
Festooned, much like the back scene of a play,
Or melodrame, which people flock to see,
When the first act is ended by a dance
In vineyard copied from the South of France.
- Lord Byron, Italy versus England.
