“What you may be, I neither know nor care,”
Said Baba; “but pray do as I desire:
I have no more time nor many words to spare.”
“At least,” said Juan, “sure I may inquire
The cause of this odd travesty?”—“Forbear,”
Said Baba, “to be curious; ’twill transpire,
No doubt, in proper place, and time, and season:
I have no authority to tell the reason.”
