Here you will find thePoemLines In The Travellers' Book At Orchomenusof poet Lord George Gordon Byron
In this book a traveller had written: 'Fair Albion, smiling, sees her son depart To trace the birth and nursery of art: Noble his object, glorious is his aim; He comes to Athens, and he writes his name.'
