IMPROMPTU by GEORGE GORDON BYRON

Poet Analysis

First Line: BENEATH BLESSINGTON'S EYES
Last Line: WHAT MORTAL WOULD NOT PLAY THE DEVIL?
Subject(s): DESSIRE;

BENEATH Blessington's eyes
The reclaim'd Paradise
Should be free as the former from evil;
But if the new Eve
For an Apple should grieve,
What mortal would not play the Devil?
