DON JUAN. 9] XLVIILI. He hastened to reveal himself—he told All that had just occurred—and Henrietta Listened attentively :—he grew more bold, And sate upon the bed, because *twas better To chatter there than stand out in the cold ;— Then he declared that he had never met a More pleasant lady’s-maid: thus having said, He threw himself at length upon the bed. XLIX., The lady’s-maid was very well inclined To screen her mistress’ honour, and to save Juan ;—besides, it would have been unkind To turn him from her chamber forth to brave The anger of her noble master’s mind ;— And as the poor youth only seemed to crave A moment’s rest upon her couch, could she Demur, and thus increase his misery ?¢ L. We’ve said before, the lady’s-maid was fair— With a full bosom, and a snow-white arm ; And by some accident both now were bare, Although the night was very far from warm. Juan observed the beauties that were there Negligently displayed, and to the charm Yielded—when, in that moment, at the door Arose a strange and terrible uproar. COMmiclhooks. con
