In this book a traveller had written: <br />'Fair Albion, smiling, sees her son depart <br />To trace the birth and nursery of art: <br />Noble his object, glorious is his aim; <br />He comes to Athens, and he writes his name.' <br /> <br />BENEATH WHICH LORD BYRON INSERTED THE FOLLOWING. <br /> <br />The modest bard, like many a bard unknown, <br />Rhymes on our names, but wisely hides his own; <br />But yet, whoe'er he be, to say no worse, <br />His name would bring more credit than his verse.<br /><br />George Gordon Byron<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lines-in-the-travellers-book-at-orchomenus/
