Don Juan 04-085
Canto the Fourth
 
 LXXXV
 
"As for the figuranti, they are like
 The rest of all that tribe; with here and there
A pretty person, which perhaps may strike,
 The rest are hardly fitted for a fair;
There's one, though tall and stiffer than a pike,
 Yet has a sentimental kind of air
Which might go far, but she don't dance with vigour;
The more's the pity, with her face and figure.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
