Their cloudy heads ; an universal peace, rroclaimed in silence of the quiet earth. " • Byron s Conspiracy. * The following is fine in another way : " Your Majesty hath missed a noble sight : The Duke Byron, on his brave beast Pastrana ; Who sits him like a full-sailed argosy Danced with a lofty billow, and as snug Plies to his bearer, both their motions mixed. " Ibid.
