Don Juan 03-035
Canto the Third

     XXXV
Here was no lack of innocent diversion
     For the imagination or the senses,
Song, dance, wine, music, stories from the Persian,
     All pretty pastimes in which no offence is;
But Lambro saw all these things with aversion,
     Perceiving in his absence such expenses,
Dreading that climax of all human ills,
The inflammation of his weekly bills.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
