Chapter_1097

Perceiving nor commander nor commanded,

And left at large, like a young heir, to make

His way to⁠—where he knew not⁠—single handed;

As travellers follow over bog and brake

An “ignis fatuus;” or as sailors stranded

Unto the nearest hut themselves betake;

So Juan, following Honour and his nose,

Rushed where the thickest fire announced most foes.
