The previous comment shows a refinement of sensibility I find hard to match.
I re-read Byron's poem today after many decades. What I'd not hitherto appreciated was the poet's mischievious wit. The rhyme of 'plague you' with 'ague' in the final stanza is very naughty, and undercuts the apparent seriousness of the poem.
Thus, not only did Byron rock, he may also have made his peers roll with mirth. Know what I mean?

Lord Byron is the man! I love how he is good at poetry and swimming! If I was Lord Byron I'd totally rock the socks off of everything, just like he rocked the socks off of lots of women, and men too!
