The Last days of r>yroa. ’
A TOUCHING SKETCH:
<• I passed the winter of Byron's death in
Greece,” says w traveller, «< and in the latter
part of February went to Missolonghi to see
him. He was then suffering from the effect
of a fft of epilepsy, which occurred in the
middle of Febnary. The first time I called
at his residence I wds ndt permitted to see
him ; but m a few days I received a polite
note from him, at the hand of his negro ser
vant, wlio was a native" of America,'and
whom Byron was kind t<t, and proud, of td'
the last.
«< I found the poet in a weak' and rather
irritable state, but he treated me with the
.utmost kindness.' He said that at the time
I first called upoh him, all strangers and
most of his friends were excluded from his
room. < But,’ said he, < had I known nn
American was at the door, yon should not
have been denied. I love your country, sir;
it is the land of liberty; the only spot 'of
CT6d’s green earth not desecrated by tyran
ny. ' *
«In our conversation I alluded to the
sympathy at that time felt iff America for
struggling Greece. All he said at that time
•n reply was, ■ Poor Greece!—poor Greece!
once the richest land on earth ; God knovis
I have tried to help thee.’
iiTos will remember that Wat a little
while before this, Marco Bozzaris had fal
len. YY’h'cn I mentioned his name, Byron
said, t Marco Bozzaris T Her was as brave as
an ancient Spartan. Perhaps he'bad‘the
blood of Leonidas in his veins; I presume
he had as good blood as ever Wet this soil.’
•« At his request, his servant then brought
him a rose-wood box, from' which he took
a letter written te himself by that gallant
chief. It was a warm-hearted-Welcome of
Byron to Greece.' c There,’ said the author »
of Chihle Harold, as he handed the precious
relic to me; £ I.would not part With that bit
to see tha triumph of Greece. That glori
ous hero, but * few moments before he led
his Suliot band forth to his last battle,
wrote this letter fo me in bis tent.’ As he
spoke those Words a heroic smile lit np his
pale countenance, and I am sure I deter
saw snch an expression on the face of mor
tal man as at that moment flashed from By
ron’s.
££ Soon he fell upon his couch, and wiping
the cold sweat from his lofty forehead, once
more exclaimed, £ Poor Greece! God bless
thee and Ada! I only ask of Heaven two
things; npd Heaven ought to grant them—
that Greece* may become free, and Ada
cherish my memory when I am dead.
“In a Few days after I left him I received
another note from him, requesting me to
call and bring with meirving’s Sketch Book.
I took it in my hand, and went once more to
the illustrious author’s residence. He rose
see your stupendous scenety; I want to foe
YVashingtdffs grave; I Want to see the
classic form of living freedom, and I want
to get your government to recognize Greece
as an independent nation. Poor Greece!’
* * Those were the last days of Byron; and
I shall consider myself hippy that I was
permitted so often to be With him. I. have
day by day watched the£workings of his
lofty imagination while he lay upon his
couch or sat by his window, and dee^t troub
led thought lit up with an unearthly glow
his beautiful features, or clouded them in
gloom. It Was a painful spectable to see
Byron’s form wasting away by disease ; and
I never gazed on him after we first met
without feeling as I think I should feel to see
a powerful stream undermining it its pro
gress the foundations of some classic temple.
It was inexpressibly painful; but yet there
was something very sublime in the struggle
of his proud spirit with the advancing king
or terrors. His fall, bright eye, which
sometimes burnt so restlessly, revealed a'
spirit free, tameless and unconquerable as
the proud ocean,
«£ In a few hours,’ said the faithful Fletch
er as he related these facts to me,’ f my mas
ter called me to his bedside and said, f I beg
in to think I am going to' die pretty soon,
Fletcher, and I shall give you several direc
tions which I hope you will be particular to
execute, if you love me.’ Fletcher did love
Kis master, and told bim he would do every
thing faithfully, and expressed the hope
'that lie should not be callbd to part with
him. ‘Yes, yon will,’ said Byron, *it’s
nearly all over with me now; I must tell
yofi without loosing a moment. I see my
times has come to die.’
«c Fletcher went'to get a portfolio to write
down his 'master’s words; Byron called
him back, exclaiming, « t) my God! don’t
waste time by Writting, for I have no time to
waste. Now hear toe—yon willow provided
for. O my poor dear child! My dear Ada!
My God! Could-Lhave batetxjrttcr! Give
her my blessing, afid my dear sister'Augfts-
ta, and her Children ; and you will go to
Lady Byron and'say—tell her every tiring
—you are friends with her.’ And tears
rolled down his eSnicated face.
“ His voice here foiled him,' so that only
bow and then a word was audible. For
Some time he muttered something very se
riously, and finally raising his voice, said,
£ Now, Fletcher, if yori do riot execute eve
ry order I have given 'you, I will torment
youJiereafter if possible.’
“ Poor Fletcher wept over his dying mas
ter, and told him he could not understand
a word of what he had last been saying.—
£-0 my God !’ sakl Byron, £ then all is lpst,
for it is now too Rite. Can it be possible
you have not understood toe ? Fletcher re
plied, £ No, but do tell me again, more
clearly, my lord.’ < How can I ?’ said By-
it is toq. late, and all is over.’—

efforts to speak, bat through the indistinct
mutterings of the dying man, only a few
broken accents could be distingu : she*I, and
they were about his wife and child.
<£ After many inefficient and pairifiil ef
forts to make known his wishes, at the re
quest of his friend, Mr. Parry, to compose
himself, he shed tears, and apparently sank
into slumber, with an expression of grief
and disappointment on his countenance.—
This was the commencement of the lethargy
of death.
£« I believe the last words of the great poet
ever spoke on earth were, «I .must sleep
now.” How full of meaning those words
were! Yes, he had laid himself down to his
last sleep. For twenty-four hours not a
hand nor foot .was seen to stir, although the
heart which had been the home of such wild
feeling still continued to beat on. Yet.it was
evident to all around his bedside tha} the.
