6 A SEQUEL TO II. Don Juan’s loves, to men the direful s pring Of horns unnumbered, heavenly goddess, tell : * Of Venus’ court the laureate, now sing How the enchanter worked his powerful spell. :— The serious and the gay thou, Muse, shalt bring, That varied in their tones thy notes may swell ; But let your humour not resemble “‘ Chuzzlewit,”’ To find the fun of which would sadly puzzle wit. II. Love and the man I sing, who, forced by fate, And urged by Fortune’s most unwearied smile, + Acquired full many a jealous husband’s hate, But charmed their daughters and their wives the while: No heart could e’er resist that jaunty gait— That ease of manner—that bewitching guile Flowing from lips as sweet and honied (let us Choose a good simile) as Mount Hymettus. * Achilles’ wrath, to Greece the direful spring Of woes unnumbered, heavenly goddess, sing ! — Commencement of Pope’s Translation of the “* Ihad, + Arms and the man I sing, who forced by fate, And haughty Juno’s unrelenting hate. — Commencement of Dryden’s Translation of the Aineid.*’ COPMIE OO KSHeEOLNN)
