Answer
Byron criticized Southey for allegedly siding with the establishment. Southey, once a radical poet, was accused of becoming too conservative in his later years, catering to the tastes of the ruling class. Byron, on the other hand, remained committed to his liberal ideals and viewed Southey's perceived shift as a betrayal of their shared youthful principles.
