“Farewell!” said Juan: “should we meet no more,
I wish you a good appetite.”—“Farewell!”
Replied the other; “though it grieves me sore:
When we next meet, we’ll have a tale to tell:
We needs must follow when Fate puts from shore.
Keep your good name; though Eve herself once fell.”
“Nay,” quoth the maid, “the Sultan’s self shan’t carry me,
Unless his Highness promises to marry me.”
