John Keats
by George Gordon, Lord Byron

(composed: July 1821)


  1.   Who killed John Keats?
  2.      “I,” says the Quarterly,
  3.      So savage and Tartarly;
  4.   “‘Twas one of my feats.”

  5.   Who shot the arrow?
  6.      “The poet-priest Milman
  7.      (So ready to kill man),
  8.   Or Southey or Barrow.”
