LORD BYRON.
TBY THE AUTHOR OF LAcoN.


With respect to those Gagrant and frequent
sneers and sarcasms, levelled at things hitherto
esteemed sacred and venerable among men, | could
wish that had nothing to put dO1cn,'' as / have
nothing Z" to ertenuafe." My censure here must be
unmiaed. we are told that a mans religion is To-
himself and his God; but as Lord Byron at once
great and public character, and as he has chosen
TO give publicity TO his religious opinions, they
longer be matter either OF privacy, Of insight
fcance. His Lordship's ideas Of any point, have
such prevalence and will have such permsnenceg
that it is OF the highest consequences that they
should be sound. Unfortunately however, on this
most important subject, he has lett US no ch0iees
He that doubts, and humbly and seriously proposes
his objections leaves US room TO hope that he doeS
his not to overthrow Oar belief, bot 10 build ups
and to establish his o1cH. Such man, through the
vestibue OF doubt may day enter into the tenn
pie of truth But can the most extensive charity
hope this of him that "sis in The seat ofthescornPr"
He that doubts, may wish TO believe; be that SCOTS
can have no such wish. He has no belief Of his own,
but scattefs h sneers and sarcasrs, only 10 shake
and undermine the belief of others He would pull
down palace, bul would not give as howell in It's
stead He therefore that makes religion chs SUBJ
ect of his ribaldry, would gladly make death the
cause of his annhilation. And it is in perfect
CONFORMITY with such ensts, that his Lordsaip
snsers Xerxes in Don Juan, because he Offer ed a
reward to him that could invent pew pleasureS
His Lordship takes to tell that he himsefis
quite satis6. with the old ones. and he seems not
to doub, OF their suficicncy, bot only TO despair Of
their continuance he concludes the passage toy
sneel the insgterabe datneSs OF paradise, bsfors
the introduction Of sin ;aBd deems banishmeht from
such inspid innocence, blessing file indeed that
lives only to love Earth, and to laugh at Heasens
would gladly die only 10 sleep. Nothing better can
happen to him something worse may The seTsu-
alist and scoffer dread heaven which they could
/ not enjoy, almost as mach hell, which they
would be sorry to enter Earth therefore, is their
idol continuance epon it their prayer; and anoihila-
ton acithia it their creed. But alas what is the.
noblest of the sons of man, il he discards the hope
of hereafter? Talent may render him more
dangerous wealth, more mischievous wit, more
fascinating, and courage, more daring. Bur without
this exalted hope he is an argosy. bound Tor shp-
wreck, at the end of his voyage & his rich freight
age will only accelerate his destruction, and sins
him deeper in the abyss.
