Quotations about:
    dalliance

Then he was faithful too, as well as amorous;
So that no sort of female could complain,
Although they’re now and then a little clamourous,
He never put the pretty souls in pain;
His heart was one of those which most enamour us,
Wax to receive, and marble to retain:
He was a lover of the good old school,
Who still become more constant as they cool.

George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788-1824) English poet

“Beppo,” st. 34 (1818)
