CXIV.

Juan, the latest of her whims, had caught

Her eye in passing on his way to sale;

She ordered him directly to be bought,

And Baba, who had ne'er been known to fail

In any kind of mischief to be wrought,

At all such auctions knew how to prevail:[FL]She had no prudence, but he had—and this

Explains the garb which Juan took amiss.
