Author: Lord Byron [More Titles by Byron]

[Lines written...English Gentleman, by J.J. Rousseau: [1] Founded on Facts"]

"Away, away,--your flattering arts
May now betray some simpler hearts;
And _you_ will _smile_ at their believing,
And _they_ shall _weep_ at your deceiving."

A second edition of this work, of which the title is, Letters, etc., translated from the French of Jean Jacques Rousseau, was published in London, in 1784. It is, probably, a literary forgery.]
