DON JUAN. 103 LXXXIV. There was a lady, too, of thirty three, With a young girl of nine, who called her “aunt .’’ She talked a great deal of Lord A. B. C., And high acquaintances was wont to vaunt, But vowed she would not have them come to see Her while residing there, lest they should taunt Because her means were for the moment stinted— ‘Which would not always be the case,’ she hinted. LXXXYV. There was a dowager, whose breath was balmy With gin at night, at morn with orris-root : She said her circumstances had been palmy, ‘¢ Until involved in that provoking suit ;’?— Her husband was a general in the army— (Some said a serjeant—but we will not moot This question now )—and though so good a Lancer, he Fell in the ambush of the Court of Chancery. ~LXXXVI. There was a clergyman, who drank and gamed ;— He never had a living, and was now Next door to starving: he was also famed For being a desperate fellow in a row :— There was a lawyer, who was not ashamed To pick up fees or clients any-how :— There was a half-pay captain, with a coat All frogged and buttoned close up to the throat. 2 COMmMicloookKxs.Cconn
