[Lady Caroline Lamb " called one morning at her quondam lover's apartments. His lordship was from
home; but finding Vathek on the table, the lady wrote in the first page of the volume the words,
" Remember me! " Byron immediately wrote under the ominous warning these two stanzas." — M EDWIN,
Conversations of Lord Byron , 1824, pp. 329, 330.]

REMEMBER thee! remember thee!
Till Lethe quench life's burning stream
Remorse and Shame shall cling to thee,
And haunt thee like a feverish dream!

Remember thee! Aye, doubt it not.
Thy husband too shall think of thee:
By neither shalt thou be forgot,
Thou false to him, thou fiend to me!
