Byron, Lord (1788 – 1824), English poet & satirist
Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.
A pretty woman is a welcome guest.
Oh! Too convincing – dangerously dear – In woman’s eye the unanswerable tear! “The Corsair” (1814)
How sweet and soothing is this hour of calm! I thank thee, night! for thou has chased away these horrid bodements which, amidst the throng, I could not dissipate; and with the blessing of thy benign and quiet influence now will I to my couch, although to rest is almost wronging such a night as this.
