No matter; we should ne’er too much inquire,
But facts are facts: no Knight could be more true,
And firmer faith no Ladye-love desire;
We will omit the proofs, save one or two:
’Tis said no one in hand “can hold a fire
By thought of frosty Caucasus”—but few,
I really think—yet Juan’s then ordeal
Was more triumphant, and not much less real.
