Don Juan 01-173
Canto the First

CLXXIII

Now, Don Alfonso entering, but alone,
     Closed the oration of the trusty maid:
She loiter'd, and he told her to be gone,
     An order somewhat sullenly obey'd;
However, present remedy was none,
     And no great good seem'd answer'd if she stay'd:
Regarding both with slow and sidelong view,
She snuff'd the candle, curtsied, and withdrew.
