DON JUAN.

Canto I.

II.

Vernon, the butcher Cumberland, Wolfe, Hawke,Prince Ferdinand, Granby, Burgoyne, Keppel,

Howe,

Evil and good, have had their tithe of talk,

And fill’d their sign-posts then, like Wellesley

now;

Each in their turn like Ikuicjuo’s monarch® stalk,Followers of fame, „nine farrow“ of that sow :France, too, had Buonaparte and DumourierRecorded in the Moniteur and Courier.

III.

Barnare, Brissot, Condorcet , Mirabcau,

Potion, Clootz, Danton, Marat, La Fayette,Were French, and famous people, as we know;

And'there were others, scarce forgotten yet,J oubert, Ilocho, Marccau, Lanncs, Dcssaix, Moreau,With many of the military set,

Exceedingly remarkable at times,

But not at all adapted to my rhymes.
