'Twas on the sixth of June, about the hour   Of half-past six—perhaps still nearer seven— When Julia sate within as pretty a bower   As e'er held houri in that heathenish heaven Described by Mahomet, and Anacreon Moore,   To whom the lyre and laurels have been given, With all the trophies of triumphant song— He won them well, and may he wear them long!

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "'Twas on the sixth of June, about the hour   Of half-past six—perhaps still nearer seven— When Julia sate within as pretty a bower   As e'er held houri in that heathenish heaven Described by Mahomet, and Anacreon Moore,   To whom the lyre and laurels have been given, With all the trophies of triumphant song— He won them well, and may he wear them long!" in the context of "Lord Byron, Don Juan, Canto I" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
