LXXVII.

Aurora sat with that indifference

Which piques a preux chevalier—as it ought:

Of all offences that's the worst offence,

Which seems to hint you are not worth a thought.

Now Juan, though no coxcomb in pretence,

Was not exactly pleased to be so caught;

Like a good ship entangled among ice—

And after so much excellent advice.
