Prologue
English source:
Joseph Spence
Let us now explore through seven ages,
The progress of George Byron's Don Juan.
I've read through all m'Lord's five hundred pages
And think I've come to understand the man
As if I were become one of the mages
Expostulating on a secret plan.
I confess to finding Juan rather winning:
A man as often sinned against as sinning.
