Page "Lady Caroline Lamb" Paragraph 9

Lady Caroline's obsession with Byron would define much of her later life and as well as influence both her and Byron's works.

They would write poems in the style of each other, about each other, and even embed overt messages to one another in their verse.

After a thwarted visit to Byron's home, Lady Caroline wrote " Remember Me!

" into the flyleaf of one of Byron's books.

He responded with the hate poem ; " Remember thee!

Remember thee!

; Till Lethe quench life ’ s burning stream ; Remorse and shame shall cling to thee, And haunt thee like a feverish dream!

Remember thee!

Ay, doubt it not.

Thy husband too shall think of thee!

By neither shalt thou be forgot, Thou false to him, thou fiend to me!
