Byron as an embryo Behold the unborn byron grow His budding brain grows ears and eyes Soon he swells to twice his size He drinks in with his mother's blood A subtle, philosophic food Distilled from that good woman's sense A strong poetic influence She calls him and he answers back From the amniotic sac "Spread the word, tomorrow morn A future poet shall be born From my mother I shall fall Into the womb that holds us all My life shall be a meteor Which generations shall adore For my unbuttoned liberty The unborn will remember me"
