Farewell!
For in that word, that fatal word,—howe'er
We promise, hope, believe,—there breathes despair.


Canto I, stanza 15 - The Corsair (1814)


Farewell! For in that word, that fatal word,—howe'er We promise, hope, believe,—there breathes despair.

Farewell! For in that word, that fatal word,—howe'er We promise, hope, believe,—there breathes despair.

Farewell! For in that word, that fatal word,—howe'er We promise, hope, believe,—there breathes despair.

Farewell! For in that word, that fatal word,—howe'er We promise, hope, believe,—there breathes despair.
