George Gordon Byron - To Mr. Murray (For Oxford And For Waldegrave)
Work rating: Low

For Oxford and for Waldegrave
You give much more than me you gave;
Which is not fairly to behave,
                          My Murray.
 
Because if a live dog, `tis said,
Be worth a lion fairly sped,
A live lord must be worth two dead,
                           My Murray.
 
And if, as the opinion goes,
Verse hath a better sale than prose--
Certes, I should have more than those,
                           My Murray.
 
But now this sheet is nearly cramm`d,
So, if you will, I shan`t be shamm`d,
And if you won`t, you may be damn`d,
                           My Murray.
