George Gordon, Lord Byron, hallowed be thy name! Reasons why he's great: he can rhyme and still seem casual, he's at least as politically brave as Rochester, he's funny and he TELLS THE TRUTH. For example, read "The Vision of Judgement", which is (among other things) a beautiful parody of Paradise Lost.
Tis every tittle true, beyond suspicion,
And accurate as any other vision.
