Lord Byron (1788–1824). Poetry of Byron. 1881.
IV. SatiricTo Mr. Murray, II
S
Patron and publisher of rhymes,
For thee the bard up Pindus climbs,
My Murray.
The unfledged MS. authors come; Thou printest all—and sellest some— My Murray. The last new Quarterly is seen,— But where is thy new Magazine, My Murray? The works thou deemest most divine— The “Art of Cookery,” and mine, My Murray. And Sermons to thy mill bring grist; And then thou hast the “Navy List,” My Murray. Without “the Board of Longitude,” Although this narrow paper would, My Murray!
