The lots were made, and marked, and mixed, and handed,

In silent horror, and their distribution

Lulled even the savage hunger which demanded,

Like the Promethean vulture, this pollution;

None in particular had sought or planned it,

’Twas Nature gnawed them to this resolution,

By which none were permitted to be neuter⁠—

And the lot fell on Juan’s luckless tutor.
