Don Juan 01-161
Canto the First

CLXI

But Don Alfonso stood with downcast looks,
     And, truth to say, he made a foolish figure;
When, after searching in five hundred nooks,
     And treating a young wife with so much rigour,
He gain'd no point, except some self-rebukes,
     Added to those his lady with such vigour
Had pour'd upon him for the last half-hour,
Quick, thick, and heavy-as a thunder-shower.

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