21700--Ere I decide, I should be glad to know that which is being?
21700--thus, after a short pause, Sigh''d Juan, muttering also some slight oaths,''What the devil shall I do with all this gauze?''
21700A ball- room bard, a foolscap, hot- press darling?
21700A pair of shoes!--what then?
21700A something all- sufficient for the heart Is that for which the sex are always seeking: But how to fill up that same vacant part?
21700Again-- what is''t?
21700Ah, why With cypress branches hast thou Wreathed thy bowers, And made thy best interpreter a sigh?
21700All the ambassadors of all the powers Enquired, Who was this very new young man, Who promised to be great in some few hours?
21700And Socrates himself but Wisdom''s Quixote?
21700And air-- earth-- water-- fire live-- and we dead?
21700And did he see this?
21700And even if by chance-- and who can tell?
21700And is it thus a faithful wife you treat?
21700And is there not religion, and reform, Peace, war, the taxes, and what''s call''d the''Nation''?
21700And is this blood, then, form''d but to be shed?
21700And must thy lyre, so long divine, Degenerate into hands like mine?
21700And now my epic renegade, what are ye at With all the lakers, in and out of place?
21700And should he have forgotten her so soon?
21700And this young fellow-- say what can he do?
21700And thou, Diviner still, Whose lot it is by man to be mistaken, And thy pure creed made sanction of all ill?
21700And thus we see-- who doubts the Morning Post?
21700And what is that?
21700And where are they?
21700And where is''Fum''the Fourth, our''royal bird?''
21700And where my Lady That?
21700And where the Daughter, whom the Isles loved well?
21700And where-- oh, where the devil are the rents?
21700And wherefore not begin With Carlton, or with other houses?
21700And wherefore not?
21700And whether in his travels he saw Ilion?
21700And why?
21700And, after all, what is a lie?
21700Antonia''s skill was put upon the rack, But no device could be brought into play-- And how to parry the renew''d attack?
21700Apostasy''s so fashionable too, To keep one creed''s a task grown quite Herculean Is it not so, my Tory, ultra- Julian?
21700But all this time how slept, or dream''d, Dudu?
21700But as to women, who can penetrate The real sufferings of their she condition?
21700But for post- horses who finds sympathy?
21700But here again, why will I thus entangle Myself with metaphysics?
21700But how shall I relate in other cantos Of what befell our hero in the land, Which''t is the common cry and lie to vaunt as A moral country?
21700But now at thirty years my hair is grey( I wonder what it will be like at forty?
21700But now the town is going to be attack''d; Great deeds are doing-- how shall I relate''em?
21700But seeing him all cold and silent still, And everybody wondering more or less, Fair Adeline enquired,''If he were ill?''
21700But to resume,--should there be( what may not Be in these days?)
21700But what if he had?
21700But what is to be done?
21700But what''s this to the purpose?
21700But whether all, or each, or none of these May be the hoarder''s principle of action, The fool will call such mania a disease:-- What is his own?
21700But''why then publish?''
21700Can every element our elements mar?
21700Could it be pride?
21700Dare you suspect me, whom the thought would kill?
21700Did not his countryman, Count Corniani, Call me the only virtuous wife in Spain?
21700Enough.--The faithful and the fairy pair, Who never found a single hour too slow, What was it made them thus exempt from care?
21700For me, I know nought; nothing I deny, Admit, reject, contemn; and what know you, Except perhaps that you were born to die?
21700Go-- look at each transaction, Wars, revels, loves-- do these bring men more ease Than the mere plodding through each''vulgar fraction''?
21700Great Socrates?
21700Gulbeyaz was the fourth, and( as I said) The favourite; but what''s favour amongst four?
21700Had Adeline read Malthus?
21700Had Buonaparte won at Waterloo, It had been firmness; now''t is pertinacity: Must the event decide between the two?
21700Has madness seized you?
21700Hast ever had the gout?
21700Have you explored the limits of the coast, Where all the dwellers of the earth must dwell?
21700He counted them at break of day-- And when the sun set where were they?
21700He obey The intellectual eunuch Castlereagh?
21700He said,--and in the kindest Calmuck tone,--''Why, Johnson, what the devil do you mean By bringing women here?
21700He was''free to confess''( whence comes this phrase?
21700He with the beardless chin and garments torn?''
21700Heaven knows?
21700Here we are, And there we go:--but where?
21700How can you do such things and keep your fame, Unless this world, and t''other too, be blind?
21700How get out?
21700How shall I spell the name of each Cossacque Who were immortal, could one tell their story?
21700I ask in turn,--Why do you play at cards?
21700I said it was a story of a ghost-- What then?
21700I said that Lady Pinchbeck had been talk''d about-- As who has not, if female, young, and pretty?
21700I say I do believe a haunted spot Exists-- and where?
21700I wonder if his appetite was good?
21700I wonder( although Mars no doubt''s a god Praise) if a man''s name in a bulletin May make up for a bullet in his body?
21700I''ll have another figure in a trice:-- What say you to a bottle of champagne?
21700I''m serious-- so are all men upon paper; And why should I not form my speculation, And hold up to the sun my little taper?
21700If he must fain sweep o''er the ethereal plain, And Pegasus runs restive in his''Waggon,''Could he not beg the loan of Charles''s Wain?
21700Is it for this I scarce went anywhere, Except to bull- fights, mass, play, rout, and revel?
21700Is it for this that General Count O''Reilly, Who took Algiers, declares I used him vilely?
21700Is it for this, whate''er my suitors were, I favor''d none-- nay, was almost uncivil?
21700Is not all love prohibited whatever, Excepting marriage?
21700Is the poor privilege to turn the key Upon the captive, freedom?
21700Is''t English?
21700It is a pleasant voyage perhaps to float, Like Pyrrho, on a sea of speculation; But what if carrying sail capsize the boat?
21700Let spendthrifts''heirs enquire of yours-- who''s wiser?
21700Love bears within its breast the very germ Of change; and how should this be otherwise?
21700Methinks Love''s very title says enough: How should''the tender passion''e''er be tough?
21700Must we but weep o''er days more blest?
21700Nothing more true than not to trust your senses; And yet what are your other evidences?
21700Now Julia found at length a voice, and cried,''In heaven''s name, Don Alfonso, what d''ye mean?
21700Now-- that the rabble''s first vain shouts are o''er?
21700Of two such lessons, why forget The nobler and the manlier one?
21700Or do they benefit mankind?
21700Or how is''t matter trembles to come near it?
21700Or modesty, or absence, or inanity?
21700Or pray Medea for a single dragon?
21700Or rather, who can not Remember, without telling, passion''s errors?
21700Or, if it were, if also his digestion?
21700Philosophy?
21700Pray tell me, can you make fast, After due search, your faith to any question?
21700Redeeming worlds to be by bigots shaken, How was thy toil rewarded?
21700Religion?

21700Shall the Muse tune it ye?
21700She did not run away, too,--did she, sir?''
21700She knew not her own heart; then how should I?
21700Ship off the Holy Three to Senegal; Teach them that''sauce for goose is sauce for gander,''And ask them how they like to be in thrall?
21700So the end''s gain''d, what signifies the route?
21700So they lead In safety to the place for which you start, What matters if the road be head or heart?
21700That violent things more quickly find a term Is shown through nature''s whole analogies; And how should the most fierce of all be firm?
21700The Honourable Mistresses and Misses?
21700The devil can tell: Where Grattan, Curran, Sheridan, all those Who bound the bar or senate in their spell?
21700The joys of mutual hate to keep them warm, Instead of love, that mere hallucination?
21700The landed and the monied speculation?
21700The matron frown''d:''Why so?''
21700The nations are In prison,--but the gaoler, what is he?
21700The simple olives, best allies of wine, Must I pass over in my bill of fare?
21700The spirit of these walls?''
21700The struggle to be pilots in a storm?
21700The third time, after a still longer pause, The shadow pass''d away-- but where?
21700The wind?
21700Their natures?
21700This being the case, may show us what Fame is: For out of these three''preux Chevaliers,''how Many of common readers give a guess That such existed?
21700Ungrateful, perjured, barbarous Don Alfonso, How dare you think your lady would go on so?
21700Was ever everybody yet so quite?
21700Was it not so, great Locke?
21700We whose minds comprehend all things?
21700Were there not also Russians, English, many?
21700What a strange thing is man?

21700What are the hopes of man?
21700What are we?
21700What fear you?
21700What is the end of Fame?
21700What may this midnight violence betide, A sudden fit of drunkenness or spleen?

8861Can I sing of the deeds which my Fathers have done, And raise my loud harp to the fame of my Sires?
8861Can anything be more full of pathos?
8861Can guilt like man''s be e''er forgiven?
8861Can heavenly Mercy dwell with earthly Zeal?
8861Can the lips sing of Love in the desert alone, Of kisses and smiles which they now must resign?
8861Can they speak of the friends that I lived but to love?
8861Can vice atone for crimes by prayer?
8861Can we reverse the general plan, Nor be what all in turn must be?
8861Could I give his fame to the winds?
