Its the common opinion that Byron was
the spoiled child of fortune in every respect.
and Shelley in every respect the reverse.
True, Byron enjoyed notoriety long before he
merited fame and Shelley never enjoyed the
reputation which isnow hisimmutable share.
There, however, Byron's advantage, as far as
it was one, may be said to have ended. He
had no father, and ali unwise mother. Ii not
an affectionate. he was dutiful son to- a
parent who strengthened her natural claims
by no material merits; whereas Shelley, il the
filial sentiment is said to berevered, was any
thing but all affectionate or dutiful son to a
parent who, it must be owned. treated him
with some consideration. We should be the
last to say that young man is bound to ac-
cept the opinions, theological, social, or po-
litical, of his parents, or even to- conceal his
own to the extent OF dissimulation, in order
to spare their feelings.
