Don Juan 01-020
Canto the First

XX

Now Donna Inez had, with all her merit,
     A great opinion of her own good qualities;
Neglect, indeed, requires a saint to bear it,
     And such, indeed, she was in her moralities;
But then she had a devil of a spirit,
     And sometimes mix'd up fancies with realities,
And let few opportunities escape
Of getting her liege lord into a scrape.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824) ByronLong
