Don Juan 01-152
Canto the First

CLII

"If he comes here to take a deposition,
     By all means let the gentleman proceed;
You've made the apartment in a fit condition:
     There's pen and ink for you, sir, when you need-
Let every thing be noted with precision,
     I would not you for nothing should be fee'd-
But, as my maid's undrest, pray turn your spies out."
"Oh!" sobb'd Antonia, "I could tear their eyes out."

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