METAMAMORPHOSIS IN MISSALONGHI

Greece, the land where myths
are still made, where
strange metamorphoses heroes make;
to there, to strife
his skin to make
the incestuous Lord came.
In this country deaths
immortals create,
Protean change
wreaks a god from the
suffering flesh; pyre
of disease to cast high
up on the Olympus a Phoenix
that flies from Byron's corpse.
