More Quotes from Lord Byron:

If not for the love of me be given
Thus much, then, for the love of Heaven, -
Again I say - that turban tear
From off thy faithless brow, and swear
Thine injured country's sons to spare,
Or thou art lost; and never shalt see -
Not earth - that's past - but heaven or me.
Lord Byron

Nor age can chill, nor rival steal,
Nor falsehood disavow:
And, what were worse, thou canst not see
Or wrong, or change, or fault in me.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron
