Hah. Just picked up a life of Byron 3 days ago.

   Don Juan

   1
   I want a hero: an uncommon want,
   When every year and month sends forth a new one,
   Till, after cloying the gazettes with cant,
   The age discovers he is not the true one;
   Of such as these I should not care to vaunt,
   I'll therefore take our ancient friend Don Juan --
   We all have seen him, in the pantomime,
   Sent to the devil somewhat ere his time.
