This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Lord Byron's work Poems (1st edition, 1816). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work (contents) at the Internet Archive.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the chapter or name of the poem quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

Although the pages are not numbered, specify the page of the advertisement as |page=5 and the page of the notes as |page=40.

• |stanza= – the stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
• |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
