Explore "Answer to a Beautiful Poem, Entitled 'the Common Lot"" by Lord Byron on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
MONTGOMERY! true, the common lot / Of mortals lies in Lethe's wave; / Yet some shall never be forgot, / Some shall exist beyond the grave.
"Unknown the region of his birth," / The hero rolls the tide of war; / Yet not unknown his martial worth, / Which glares a meteor from afar.
