The better days of life were ours;
The worst can be but mine:
The sun that cheers, the storm that lowers,
Shall never more be thine.
(And Thou Art Dead, As Young And Fair)

Lord Byron
If not for the love of me be given
Thus much, then, for the love of Heaven, -

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
