Parisina is a narrative poem written by the renowned English poet, Lord Byron. The poem is set in the Italian city of Ferrara in the 15th century and tells the tragic story of Parisina, the wife of the Duke of Ferrara. Parisina falls in love with her stepson, Ugo, and they begin a secret affair. However, their illicit relationship is discovered by the Duke, who orders their execution. The poem explores themes of love, betrayal, jealousy, and revenge, and is known for its vivid and atmospheric descriptions of the Italian setting. The poem is considered one of Byron's most accomplished works and is a classic example of Romantic poetry.And what unto them is the world beside, With all its change of time and tide? Its living things -- its earth and sky -- Are nothing to their mind and eye. And heedless as the dead are they Of aught around, above, beneath.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
