Chapter 96 PROLOGUE TO DON SEBASTIAN.

SPOKEN BY A WOMAN.

The judge removed, though he's no more my lord,

May plead at bar, or at the council board:

So may cast poets write; there's no pretension

To argue loss of wit from loss of pension.

Your looks are cheerful; and in all this place

I see not one that wears a damning face.

The British nation is too brave to show
