This is a poem written by Byron to his good friend Thomas Moore when he left England. Byron's private life in society has been attacked more and more. 18 16 At the beginning of the year, his wife who had been married for only one year suddenly left and then asked for separation. The attack on him by the upper class reached a climax. He didn't like the hypocrisy and ruthlessness of the British upper class, and now he has been slandered, so he angrily moved to Italy.
