--'Apropos des bottes,'-
I have forgotten what I meant to say,
As have been greater sages' lots;
'T was something calculated to allay
All wrath in barracks, palaces, or cots:
Certes it would have been but thrown away,
And that 's one comfort for my lost advice,
Although no doubt it was beyond all price.
I have forgotten what I meant to say,
As have been greater sages' lots;

All wrath in barracks, palaces, or cots:
Certes it would have been but thrown away,
And that 's one comfort for my lost advice,
Although no doubt it was beyond all price.
Bryon - Don Juan
