| I wish to tune my quivering lyre | C |
| To deeds of fame and notes of fire | D |
| To echo from its rising swell | A |
| How heroes fought and nations fell | A |
| When Atreus' sons advanc'd to war | E |
| Or Tyrian Cadmus rov'd afar | F |
| But still to martial strains unknown | G |
| My lyre recurs to Love alone | G |
| Fir'd with the hope of future fame | H |
| I seek some nobler Hero's name | H |
| The dying chords are strung anew | I |
| To war to war my harp is due | I |
| With glowing strings the Epic strain | J |
| To Jove's great son I raise again | K |
| Alcides and his glorious deeds | L |
| Beneath whose arm the Hydra bleeds | L |
| All all in vain my wayward lyre | C |
| Wakes silver notes of soft Desire | D |
| Adieu ye Chiefs renown'd in arms | M |
| Adieu the clang of War's alarms | M |
| To other deeds my soul is strung | N |
| And sweeter notes shall now be sung | N |
| My harp shall all its powers reveal | O |
| To tell the tale my heart must feel | O |
| Love Love alone my lyre shall claim | H |
| In songs of bliss and sighs of flame | H |
George Gordon Byron
