Читать книгу Don Juan (With Byron's Biography) - Lord Byron - Страница 28

I want a hero: an uncommon want,

When every year and month sends forth a new one,

Till, after cloying the gazettes with cant,

The age discovers he is not the true one;

Of such as these I should not care to vaunt,

I'll therefore take our ancient friend Don Juan—

We all have seen him, in the pantomime,15

Sent to the Devil somewhat ere his time.
