Excerpt from The New Don Juan: The Introduction; And the Last Canto of the Original Don Juan From the Papers of the Countess Guicciolli Yet England has some noble institutions, Our prisons, hospitals, and volunteers, And several others kept by contributions, To cure our sickness or to calm our fears; And various yearly pageants and delusions, At which John Bull, en masse, in state appears. Then we have a noble peerage, m'de Burke, And several millions starving - out of work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
