He could bid those " Whose agonies are evils of a day " " Control In their shut breasts their petty misery; " he could give generously to the poor and his friends ; he could give himself gladly to the cause of freedom : but always there stepped in the spirit of the melancholy Childe Harold, to exact the uttermost farthing of con- solation ; and when this was denied him by the unfeel- ing world, as it must always be, the spirit of Don Juan followed, jesting bitterly.
