An orator of such set trash of phrase,     Ineffably—legitimately vile, That even its grossest flatterers dare not praise,     Nor foes—all nations—condescend to smile. Not even a sprightly blunder's spark can blaze     From that Ixion grindstone's ceaseless toil, That turns and turns to give the world a notion Of endless torments and perpetual motion.
The Selected Poetry of Lord Byron
