Good plays are scarce: <br />So Moore writes farce. <br />The poet's fame grows brittle-- <br />We knew before <br />That Little's Moore, <br />But now 'tis Moore that's little. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />September 14, 1811.<br /><br />George Gordon Byron<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-moore-s-last-operatic-farce-or-farcical-opera/
