Καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ζητήσουσιν οἱ
ἄνθρωποι τὸν θάνατον
καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσουσιν αὐτὸν' καὶ ἐπιθυμήσουσιν
ἀποθανεῖν, καὶ φεύξεται
ὁ θάνατος ἀπ' αὐτῶν.

On second fly-leaf: "Semper ego tui memoriam colam; semper tua imago
ante oculos observabitur; semper idem mihi eras; qui idem semper eras
bonis omnibus."
These volumes which were presented by George Ticknor to Lord Byron,[A]
and, in turn, presented by him to Scrope Davies, passed into the hands
of Sir Francis Burdett (1770-1844), and are now in the possession of his
grandson, Mr. F.B. Money-Coutts.
FOOTNOTES:
[A] "He [Byron] spoke to me of a copy of the American edition of his
poems, which I had sent him, and expressed his satisfaction at seeing it
in a small form, because in that way, he said, nobody would be prevented
from purchasing it" ("Journal," June 21, 1815).--_Life, Letters, and
Journals_ of George Ticknor, Boston, 1876, i. 62.
