Don Juan 03-007
Canto the Third

VII

Men grow ashamed of being so very fond;
     They sometimes also get a little tired
(But that, of course, is rare), and then despond:
     The same things cannot always be admired,
Yet 't is "so nominated in the bond,"
     That both are tied till one shall have expired.
Sad thought! to lose the spouse that was adorning
Our days, and put one's servants into mourning.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
