XXI.

Don Juan grew a very polished Russian—

How we won't mention, why we need not say:

Few youthful minds can stand the strong concussion

Of any slight temptation in their way;

But his just now were spread as is a cushion

Smoothed for a Monarch's seat of honour: gay

Damsels, and dances, revels, ready money,

Made ice seem Paradise, and winter sunny.
