Don Juan 01-045
Canto the First

XLV

For there we have them all "at one fell swoop,"
     Instead of being scatter'd through the Pages;
They stand forth marshall'd in a handsome troop,
     To meet the ingenuous youth of future ages,
Till some less rigid editor shall stoop
     To call them back into their separate cages,
Instead of standing staring all together,
Like garden gods-and not so decent either.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824) ByronLong
