Don Juan 01-186
Canto the First

CLXXXVI

Alfonso grappled to detain the foe,
     And Juan throttled him to get away,
And blood ('t was from the nose) began to flow;
     At last, as they more faintly wrestling lay,
Juan contrived to give an awkward blow,
     And then his only garment quite gave way;
He fled, like Joseph, leaving it; but there,
I doubt, all likeness ends between the pair.
