The New Don Juan: The Introduction; And the Last Canto of the Original Don Juan From the Papers of the Countess Guicciolli (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The New Don Juan: The Introduction; And the Last Canto of the Original Don Juan From the Papers of the Countess Guicciolli
Each day brings some new marvel to the gaze,
Of wand'ring mortals on whose stricken sight,
They come so rapid as to scarce amaze,
And bring at best a sort of pained delight;
There's acrobats and concerts in the days,
And dancing rope performers every night.
While every district holds its own impostor,
As Spurgeon, Swedenborg, and Slade and Foster.
Yet England has some noble institutions,
Our prisons, hospitals, and volunteers,
And several others kept by contributions,
To cure our sickness or to calm our fears;
And various yearly pageants and delusions,
At which "John Bull," en masse, in state appears.
Then we have a noble peerage, vide "Burke,"
And several millions starving - out of work.
