With Byron in Itlay; a selection of the poems and letters of Lord Byron relating to his life in ItalyEdited by Anna Benneson McMahan . ere together, I should publish both my plays(periodically) in our joint journal. It should be our planto publish all our best things in that way. TO JOHN MURRAY Ravenna, July 6, 1821. At the particular request of the Contessa G. I havepromised not to continue Don Juan. You will there-fore look upon these 3 cantos as the last of that had read the two first in the French translation, andnever ceased beseeching me to write no more of it. Thereason of this is not at first obvious to a superficialobserver of foreign manners; but it arises from thewish of all women to exalt the sentiment of the passions,and to keep up the illusion which is their empire. NowDon Juan strips off this illusion, and laughs at that andmost other things. I never knew a woman who did notprotect Rousseau, nor one who did not dislike de Gram-mont, Gil Bias, and all the comedy of the passions, whenbrought out naturally. But Kings blood must keepword, as Serjeant Bothwell says. Write, you Scamp!
