All About Newfies
taken from the works of Lord Byron
Poets Corner
Westminster Abbey - London
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Near this spotAre deposited the Remains
of oneWho possessed BeautyWithout Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferocity,
And all the Virtues of ManWithout his Vices.
This Praise, which would be unmeaning flattery
If inscribed over Human Ashes,
Is but a just tribute to the Memory of"Boatswain,"
a DogWho was born at Newfoundland,May, 1803,
And died at Newstead AbbeyNov. 18, 1808.
