DON JUAN. o7 CLIL. ‘* Senor, I thank you for this explanation. Rose is an orphan, trusted to my care— In mind and manners fitted for the station Ot a king’s bride—but, as you’re well aware, Occupying a dependent situation, Which, as the world of fashion would declare, Unfits her to aspire to be the wife Of one who moves in the first class of life.’’— CLIT. “The shackles of society ne’er wore,”’ Said Juan in a most determined tone, “¢ To me so ludicrous a shape before, Or one whose sway I were so loth to own. I love the beauteous Rose—nay, I adore ; On her my thoughts are fixed—on her alone : The world may laugh, and fashion may deride— In time they both will learn to court my bride !”’"— CLIV. ‘< And Rose is worthy your resolve,’’ exclaimed Her ladyship: ‘‘ proud were I could she be My child! An Emperor need not be ashamed To make her partner of his majesty. No beauty in the lists of fashion famed, No heiress of a noble pedigree, Can boast of such endowments as the poor Neglected orphan girl—Rose Delacour !’ COmMiclooks. conn
