Don Juan 01-150
Canto the First

CL
"Have I not had two bishops at my feet,
     The Duke of Ichar, and Don Fernan Nunez-
And is it thus a faithful wife you treat-
     I wonder in what quarter now the moon is:
I praise your vast forbearance not to beat
     Me also, since the time so opportune is-
Oh, valiant man! with sword drawn and cock'd trigger,
Now, tell me, don't you cut a pretty figure-

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