Congress of Verona especially Lord Londonderry
The Age of Bronze is a declamation, rather than a satire, directed against the Convention of Cintra and the Congress of Verona, especially Lord Londonderry's part in the latter, only remarkable, from its advice to the Greeks, to dread— The false friend worse than the infuriate foe; i.e. to prefer the claw of the Tartar savage to the paternal hug of the great Bear— Better still toil for masters, than await, The slave of slaves, before a Russian gate.
— from Byron by John Nichol
