DON JUAN. 223 LI. Holland, Sykes,-Norton, Paget, Heaviside Are names as well associated with Love’s scandal, as vulgarity and pride With citizens whose names are Jones or Smith.— Reader, | am not wont my thoughts to hide, But give you all—the marrow and the pith; And if you find my strictures somewhat hard, Remember—I’m an independant bard ! LIL. Awoke the many-voiced and babbling day ; Smiled the bright sun upon the Tuileries ; And on the chrystal fountain glanced its ray :— The birds sang blythely in the orange trees ;— And from the fragrant flowers exhaled away The tears-of Night, which in their chalices Athirst they gathered during the brief reign Of chaste Diana on th’ ethereal plain. LIL. It was a day of heaven’s unclouded blue, And Nature all her mellowest tints displayed : The kiss of the soft zephyr seemed to woo The leaves that broke the sun-light with their shade ;— And children’s prattle in each avenue _A musice like the voice of streamlets made: The very sentinel appeared to say, - ‘‘?T were sin to work the guillotine to-day !’’ COMmicloookxs.conn
