DON JUAN. 93 LIV. At length the door was opened : Henrietta Remained close by it, prudently to choose her Station far from the bed ;—his lordship let a Moment elapse, and then began t’ abuse her. She cried, and wondered any one could set a Polite tongue thus unmannerly to use her ; But to his questions she’d no answer give Save an evasion or a negative. LV. ‘It matters little if you did or not Assist your lady in her intrigue,—you At all events may share her future lot ;— To lady’s-maids such scenes are never new ; They thrive and fatten on them ; the foul blot On fair escutcheons is the medium through Which they amass their little hoards of pelf !— To leave the house forthwith prepare yourself.”’ LVI. Scarcely these words were by his lordship said, When Juan had the mishap to turn o’er A vessel that was kept beneath the bed, And the contents streamed out upon the floor. The maid turned ashy pale—then crimson red— And disappeared next moment by the door : His lordship rushed unto the place, and found His hated rival crouching on the ground. COnmMicloookxs. conn
