Analysis of Epigram: From The French Of Rulhières
George Gordon Lord Byron 1788 (London) – 1824 (Missolonghi, Aetolia)
If, for silver or for gold,
You could melt ten thousand pimples
Into half a dozen dimples,
Then your face we might behold,
Looking, doubtless, much more snugly;
Yet even then 'twould be damned ugly.
August 12, 1819.
