Autoplay

By 1824 at the latest,
amongst many a page
of artful, show-off, abababcc digression
before dad-pirate Lambro's rage,
Byron penned,
'Cloves, cinnamon, and saffron too were boil'd
up with the coffee, which (I think) they spoil'd.'

You choose well in quoting two lines of Byron. Good that you gave a clue , 'Don Juan III.1xiii.' I know that poem.
