BYRON AND HIS PETS.
N -e have carte to associate with.
the life and character of 'Lord Byron,
the English poet who riled itt'Greece
aiding the cause of ;Greek independ-

land ring which Byron owned, stand,

rather lengthy epitaph, ending with
the couplet

do with him, and my reply was, `He
should sit for a Fellowship,"This an -
ewer delighted them not,"

arose from a desire to impress and
