A poem by Lord Byron

Lines written in "Letters of an Italian Nun and an English Gentleman"

Lines written in "Letters of an Italian Nun and an English Gentleman, by J.J. Rousseau: [1] Founded on Facts"


"Away, away,--your flattering arts
May now betray some simpler hearts;
And _you_ will _smile_ at their believing,
And _they_ shall _weep_ at your deceiving."

[Footnote 1:
A second edition of this work, of which the title is,
_Letters, etc., translated from the French of Jean Jacques Rousseau_,
was published in London, in 1784. It is, probably, a literary forgery.]
