DON JUAN. 171 XLIV. Juan repaired to the West End to rally His servants, lately scattered all abroad ; And Secretaries, Major-Domo, Valet Speedily gathered round their much-loved lord : Then forth in all directions did they sally, To make, as well as their haste would afford, Each little necessary preparation For an excursion to the neighbouring nation. LXV Meantime our hero hastened back to Rose, And broke the dismal news to her, that he, Bound by a will he dared not to oppose, Must leave that night, at morn to cross the sea.— And now what deep despair her pale cheek shows— Her eye denotes a mortal agony : Her lips apart no sigh nor sob deliver, But, as if “neath Death’s fingers, feebly quiver. XLVI. “Ah! Rose, we separate but for a time: A month—and I shall be with thee again :— And, Oh! believe the pleasures of that clime To which I speed, may tempt me all in vain. To thee, beloved one, never shall the crime Of faithlessness impart a moment’s pain : Sooner the life-blood from my heart should pour Than I neglect the being I adore.’’— COmicboooks. conn
