DON JUAN, 145 LIV. But she found leisure afterwards to add “That Juan’s new papa was not much better Than he should be :—indeed, he drove her mad With his suspicious fits, and would not let her Gyo to the last bull-fight—it was too bad— Just as if she’d a lover to have met her ! It really was unhuman—vile—and cruel, And to vexation’s furnace added fuel.”’ LV. But she concluded “ that God’s will be done :— Still the last carnival was very pretty, And she was forced to stop away for one :— Doubtless the Lord would in his goodness pity Her sorrowful condition :—there was none Else to avenge her in Seville’s vast city ;— And it was really terrible to hear One of the children squall—the little dear !’’ LVI. Here terminated this epistle strange ; And Juan knew not if to laugh or cry ;— So he began his toilet to arrange, Humming meanwhile a mournful melody : Then to the city he repaired to change His drafts for cash ;—and joy flashed in his eye, As the huge pile of gold and notes he fingered, For which in deep suspense he long had lingered.
