All this must be reserved for further song;
Also our Hero’s lot, howe’er unpleasant
(Because this Canto has become too long),
Must be postponed discreetly for the present;
I’m sensible redundancy is wrong,
But could not for the Muse of me put less in ’t:
And now delay the progress of Don Juan,
Till what is called in Ossian the fifth Duan.
