But Juan was a bachelor⁠—of arts,

And parts, and hearts: he danced and sung, and had

An air as sentimental as Mozart’s

Softest of melodies; and could be sad

Or cheerful, without any “flaws or starts,”

Just at the proper time: and though a lad,

Had seen the world⁠—which is a curious sight,

And very much unlike what people write.
