Don Juan 06-101
Canto the Sixth
 
     CI
 
Gulbeyaz was no model of true patience,
     Nor much disposed to wait in word or deed;
She liked quick answers in all conversations;
     And when she saw him stumbling like a steed
In his replies, she puzzled him for fresh ones;
     And as his speech grew still more broken-kneed,
Her cheek began to flush, her eyes to sparkle,
And her proud brow's blue veins to swell and darkle.
  
 
Don Juan 06-102
Canto the Sixth
 
     CII
 
When Baba saw these symptoms, which he knew
     To bode him no great good, he deprecated
Her anger, and beseech'd she'd hear him through --
     He could not help the thing which he related:
Then out it came at length, that to Dudu
     Juan was given in charge, as hath been stated;
But not by Baba's fault, he said, and swore on
The holy camel's hump, besides the Koran.
  
 
Don Juan 06-103
Canto the Sixth
 
     CIII
 
The chief dame of the Oda, upon whom
     The discipline of the whole haram bore,
As soon as they re-enter'd their own room,
     For Baba's function stopt short at the door,
Had settled all; nor could he then presume
     (The aforesaid Baba) just then to do more,
Without exciting such suspicion as
Might make the matter still worse than it was.

Canto the Sixth
 
     CIV
 
He hoped, indeed he thought, he could be sure
     Juan had not betray'd himself; in fact
'T was certain that his conduct had been pure,
     Because a foolish or imprudent act
Would not alone have made him insecure,
     But ended in his being found out and sacked,
And thrown into the sea. -- Thus Baba spoke
Of all save Dudu's dream, which was no joke.
  
 
Don Juan 06-105
Canto the Sixth
 
     CV
 
This he discreetly kept in the background,
     And talk'd away -- and might have talk'd till now,
For any further answer that he found,
     So deep an anguish wrung Gulbeyaz' brow:
Her cheek turn'd ashes, ears rung, brain whirl'd round,
     As if she had received a sudden blow,
And the heart's dew of pain sprang fast and chilly
O'er her fair front, like Morning's on a lily.
