He hoped, indeed he thought, he could be sure,

Juan had not betrayed himself; in fact

'T was certain that his conduct had been pure,

Because a foolish or imprudent act

Would not alone have made him insecure,

But ended in his being found out and sacked,
And thrown into the sea.—Thus Baba spoke

Of all save Dudù's dream, which was no joke.
