DON JUAN. 123 CAXXVIIL. Thus may a gentleman say to himself, ‘<1 have five thousand pounds to spare—I long For my friend’s wife—and I will give the pelf, , When justice orders, to repair the wrong.” — Shade of Charles Stuart !* spirit of George Guelph !7 To ye my Muse shall dedicate her song, For ye were fitting Kings to rule the land Where folks such. compromises understand. CXXXIX, Fitzhardinge ! thou may’st rest assured thy name Is entered often in the Devil’s book, Imprinted with the boldest type of flame,— And that his Majesty will keep a nook Of his infernal territory, to tame Your constitution in some icy brook : At all events your lordship is so crammed With evil, that you’re certain to be camned |! * Charles the Second—an infamous but a good-hearted monarch. + George the Fourth — an infamous and black-hearted monarch, Not one single re- _ deeming trait did this crowned monster possess :—he was a vile profligate, a misera- ble debauchee, a faithless friend, an inhuman husband, and a bad King.
