This is the fifth volume of seven THE COMPLETE WORKS OF LORD BYRON, Vol 5. The plays and poems contained in this volume were written within the space of two years-the last two years of Byron’s career as a poet. But that was not all. Cantos VI.-XV. of Don Juan, The Vision of Judgment, The Blues, The Irish Avatar, and other minor poems, belong to the same period. The end was near, and, as though he had received a warning, he hastened to make the roll complete.
