Lord Byron Quote

He left a corsair's name to other times,
Linked with one virtue, and a thousand crimes.


Canto III, stanza 24; this can be compared to: "Hannibal, as he had mighty virtues, so had he many vices; he had two distinct persons in him", Robert Burton, Anatomy of Melancholy, "Democritus to the Reader" - The Corsair (1814)


He left a corsair's name to other times, Linked with one virtue, and a thousand crimes.
