It pretty much is talking about how he feels that at the age of 36 he can no longer find love. That all his affairs have failed, and That he wont be able to be happily inlove with a family like so many others. Byron funded the war w/ greece and the Turks. He also did recruiting. When he says something about the best way of dying is a soldiers grave is because back in the times of the Spartons, They thought that dying in battle was honorable. Byron figured if he was to old to recreate, and live on in love, that it be best he died an honerable death. His life was short lived, But to him he thought he was decrepit.
