5753 George Gordon Noel Byron

 
NUMBER:5753
AUTHOR:George Gordon Noel Byron, Lord Byron (1788–1824)
QUOTATION:Divine in hookas, glorious in a pipe
When tipp’d with amber, mellow, rich, and ripe;
Like other charmers, wooing the caress
More dazzlingly when daring in full dress;
Yet thy true lovers more admire by far
Thy naked beauties—give me a cigar!
ATTRIBUTION:The Island. Canto ii. Stanza 19.
