Thoroughly enjoyed The Corsair. Much better story and development than I found in The Bride of Abydos. The meter worked so well that I only sensed it just below the surface. I simply read the story but the structure was there throughout, guiding and accentuating.
It's been fun working through Byron from his early to later works. You can see his talent develop and his various experiments with form as he gets more under his belt. Still more to read!

pros:
- I have a soft spot for Byron
- it's always amusing to watch someone wrestle with heroic couplets
- PIRATES
cons:
- this definitely crossed my threshold of tolerance for white male 18th/19th century authors and their grossness about race, women etc
