Don Juan 03-012
Canto the Third

XII

Haidee and Juan were not married, but
     The fault was theirs, not mine; it is not fair,
Chaste reader, then, in any way to put
     The blame on me, unless you wish they were;
Then if you'd have them wedded, please to shut
     The book which treats of this erroneous pair,
Before the consequences grow too awful;
'T is dangerous to read of loves unlawful.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
