GW.

This is coolbert:

In honor of the birthday [22 February] of George Washington the ode by Lord Byron.

"Where may the wearied eye repose

When gazing on the Great;

Where neither guilty glory glows,

Nor despicable state?

Yes, one—the first—the last—the best,

The Cincinnatus of the West,

Whom envy dared not hate,

Bequeath’d the name of Washington,

To make men blush there was but one!"


100 % concurrence and thanks to the tip from Nick. Washington as compared to Napoleon.

And it is no contest. Also additional thanks to the Lord. His sentiments most appreciated.
