Byron alludes to the story of Sappho in "Childe Harold," Canto II.: "Childe Harold sailed and passed the barren spot Where sad Penelope o'erlooked the wave, And onward viewed the mount, not yet forgot, The lover's refuge and the Lesbian's grave. Dark Sappho! could not verse immortal save That breast imbued with such immortal fire?
"She will make a good wife there will be no complaining of her tongue, and she is well instructed in all good housewifery." "To whom then would you give her?" asked Tibble. "Ay, that's the question.
