26 A SEQUEL TO LXI. With warmth the Duchess prest our hero’s hand, Although she knew her lord was close behind: That pressure made her lover understand The future hopes she nourished in her mind. It seemed as if she had already planned Some scheme by which a meeting was designed ; And Juan, with a glance, appeared to say, ‘“ We'll meet again at some no distant day.’’ LXIT. I’ve heard of ‘‘ two strings to a bow’’—but “ three Mistresses to a heart’’ is something strange : J envy Juan not his Trinity, Unless Saint Athanasius could arrange To form it in a Unity ;—if he ( Divine things know not logic) makes the change, And will condense in one the separate charms, I ne’er will prove unfaithful to her arms ! LXIITT,. | Aurora’s innocence and eyes,—the mind, Hands, ancles, and the waist of Adeline,— With the full bust of her sweet Grace combined, Make the most perfect creature ever seen ; And if Saint Athanasius will but find Of female excellence this peerless Queen, We will acknowledge (with most other men ) There is a Trinity—but not till then.
