Lara, a poem by Lord Byron, published 1814.

Lara is Conrad of The Corsair returned to his domains in Spain accompanied by his page Kaled, who is Gulnare in disguise. Lara lives, like other ‘Byronic’ heroes, aloof and alien, shrouded in mystery. He is, however, recognized as Conrad, and becomes involved in a feud in which he is finally killed, dying in the arms of Kaled.
