Said Juan—“Whatsoever is to be
Done, I’ll not quit her till she seems secure
Of present life a good deal more than we.”—
Quoth Johnson—“Neither will I quite insure;
But at the least you may die gloriously.”—
Juan replied—“At least I will endure
Whate’er is to be borne—but not resign
This child, who is parentless, and therefore mine.”
