Don Juan 01-160
Canto the First

CLX

With prying snub-nose, and small eyes, he stood,
     Following Antonia's motions here and there,
With much suspicion in his attitude;
     For reputations he had little care;
So that a suit or action were made good,
     Small pity had he for the young and fair,
And ne'er believed in negatives, till these
Were proved by competent false witnesses.

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