"The last time was——"—"I pray," said Adeline—

(Who watched the changes of Don Juan's brow,

And from its context thought she could divine

Connections stronger than he chose to avow

With this same legend)—"if you but design

To jest, you'll choose some other theme just now,

Because the present tale has oft been told,

And is not much improved by growing old."
