DON JUAN. A] CX XII. It was with difficulty Juan tore Himself away from the enchanted place Where dwelt the being who had touched him more Than any since he first saw Haidee’s face. He felt that he could worship—nay, adore Th’ angelic maid, endowed with every grace, And in whose person all attractions joined To constitute a perfect form and mind. vi CX XIII. *Tis true, our hero’s notions of morality Held female virtue to be but a name, And thought that reputation was the quality Including honour, duty, conscience, fame :— Thus, if a lady formed a partiality, And gave way to it secretly, no blame Accrued to her, in Juan’s estimation, Because she still preserved her reputation. CXXIV. The Spartans taught their sons to steal, and merely Chastised them when detected :—Juan’s code (From which | beg to differ most sincerely ) Judged female virtue after the same mode : Woman was virtuous till the world saw clearly That she had travelled out of the right road, And then —when reputation, virtue’s cloak, Was gone—forth all her misdemeanours broke.
