Note 61 — LORD BYRON: (continued 3)
Reading edition
"Tis said that persons living on annuities Are longer lived than others,—God knows why, Unless to plague the grantors,—yet so true it is, That some, I really think, do never die. Of any creditors, the worst a Jew it is; And that's their mode of furnishing supply: In my young days they lent me cash that way, Which I found very troublesome to pay." DON JUAN, Canto II
