DON JUAN 71 CXCIl. Months glided on—the winter came, and yet She saw naught of him ! Not once in the gay And busy scenes of fashion had they met: And still she asked herself, from day to day, Was he deserving of the keen regret | She lavished on the truant, while away ? Vainly did she attempt to triumph o’er Her inclination—it increased the more ! CXCIII. The Duke and Duchess of Fitz—Fulk had gone To pass the winter season at Milan : This little trip his Grace resolved upon, Although the Duchess cavilled at the plan ; But he in the unwonted light then shone Of a determined and unyielding man. The reason that he gave was ‘ health’’—the true one Was to remove the Duchess far from Juan. CXCIV. Aurora Raby still remained the guest Of Lady Adeline ;—but ne’er her eye Nor air regretful sorrowing exprest, Whatever were her feelings inwardly. If Juan’s image occupied her breast, ’"Twas not revealed by outward sign nor sigh ;— But p’r’aps her liking for the “naughty man’’ Had ended as it should—where it began ! COMmiclboOoks. conn
