A small old spaniel,"which had been Don Jose's,

Knowing (dogs have such intellectual noses!),

Off, threw him in, then after him he leap'd.
He also stuff'd his money where he could
About his person, and Pedrillo's too,
Who let him do, in fact, whate'er he would,

As every rising wave his dread renew'd;
But Juan, trusting they might still get through,

While the sun smiled on her with his first flame,
flame - लौ, ज्वाला, शोला, लपट
And young Aurora kiss'd her lips with dew,

Had all the advantage, too, of not being air.
And when into the cavern Haidee stepp'd
All timidly, yet rapidly, she saw

Must breakfast"and betimes, lest they should ask it,
She drew out her provision from the basket.

She knew that the best feelings must have victual,

And felt her veins chill'd by the neighbouring sea;
And so, she cook'd their breakfast to a tittle;
tittle - रत्त्
I can't say that she gave them any tea,

With Scio wine,"and all for love, not money.
And Zoe, when the eggs were ready, and
The coffee made, would fain have waken'd Juan;

Although his woes had turn'd him rather yellow.
He woke and gazed, and would have slept again,
But the fair face which met his eyes forbade

As all his latter meals had been quite raw,

He fell upon whate'er was offer'd, like

But Zoe, being older than Haidee,
Knew (by tradition, for she ne'er had read)
That famish'd people must be slowly nurst,
And fed by spoonfuls, else they always burst.
And so she took the liberty to state,
Rather by deeds than words, because the case
deeds - कार्य, काम, विलेख
Was urgent, that the gentleman, whose fate
urgent - तुरंत, अत्यावश्यक, ताकीदी, अविलंब, अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण, आग्रहपूर्ण
Had made her mistress quit her bed to trace

And darts in one quick glance a long reply;
darts - चुन्नट, (**), बर्छी, झपट्टा, भाला/बल्लम, शर, दौड़ कर जाना
And thus in every look she saw exprest
A world of words, and things at which she guess'd.
And now, by dint of fingers and of eyes,
And words repeated after her, he took
A lesson in her tongue; but by surmise,
No doubt, less of her language than her look:
As he who studies fervently the skies
fervently - उत्सुकता से, उत्कटतापूर्वक
Turns oftener to the stars than to his book,
Thus Juan learn'd his alpha beta better
Alpha - अल्फ़ा, यूनानी वर्णमाला का प्रथम अक्षर

From Haidee's glance than any graven letter.

'Tis pleasing to be school'd in a strange tongue
By female lips and eyes"that is, I mean,

Where I, like other 'dogs, have had my day,'
Like other men, too, may have had my passion"
But that, like other things, has pass'd away,
And all her fools whom I could lay the lash on:
Foes, friends, men, women, now are nought to me
But dreams of what has been, no more to be.
Return we to Don Juan. He begun
To hear new words, and to repeat them; but
Some feelings, universal as the sun,
Were such as could not in his breast be shut
More than within the bosom of a nun:
nun - सन्यासिन, बैरागिन
He was in love,"as you would be, no doubt,
With a young benefactress,"so was she,

Well"Juan, after bathing in the sea,
Came always back to coffee and Haidee.

That bathing pass'd for nothing; Juan seem'd
To her, as 'twere, the kind of being sent,
Of whom these two years she had nightly dream'd,
nightly - रात्रिकालीन, हर रात, हर रात
A something to be loved, a creature meant
To be her happiness, and whom she deem'd

Female, as where she likes may freely pass,
freely - स्वतंत्रतापूर्वक, बिना रोक टोक के, इच्छा से, मुक्त बातचीत
Without even the incumbrance of a brother,

A mortal mother would on Lethe fix.
Some have accused me of a strange design

Against the creed and morals of the land,
And trace it in this poem every line:

My own meaning when I would be very fine;
But the fact is that I have nothing plann'd,
Unless it were to be a moment merry,
A novel word in my vocabulary.

To the kind reader of our sober clime
This way of writing will appear exotic;
exotic - असाधारण, आकर्षक, विदेशज

Young Juan and his lady-love were left
To their own hearts'most sweet society;
Even Time the pitiless in sorrow cleft
With his rude scythe such gentle bosoms; he
scythe - दराँती, हँसिया
Sigh'd to behold them of their hours bereft,
Though foe to love; and yet they could not be
Meant to grow old, but die in happy spring,

Before one charm or hope had taken wing.
Their faces were not made for wrinkles, their

A long and snake-like life of dull decay
Was not for them"they had too little day.

Thus was another Eden; they were never
Weary, unless when separate: the tree
Cut from its forest root of years"the river
Damm'd from its fountain"the child from the knee
fountain - सोता, फ़व्वारा
And breast maternal wean'd at once for ever,"

shafts - अन्यायपूर्ण व्यवहार करना, बरछा, धोखा देना, पिच्छाक्ष, किरणपुंज

They found no fault with Time, save that he fled;
They saw not in themselves aught to condemn:
aught - कुछ भी, कुछ नहीं

And knew such brightness was but the reflection
brightness - चमक
Of their exchanging glances of affection.
exchanging - करना, बदल देना, केन्द्र, लेन देन, डालना, अदला बदल, बदली करना
The gentle pressure, and the thrilling touch,
The least glance better understood than words,

Known but to them, at least appearing such
As but to lovers a true sense affords;
affords - देना, जुटा पाना{धन}, ख़र्च करना, लेना, समर्थ होना, प्रदान करना
Sweet playful phrases, which would seem absurd

To those who have ceased to hear such, or ne'er heard,"
All these were theirs, for they were children still,

They were not made in the real world to fill
A busy character in the dull scene,
But like two beings born from out a rill,
A nymph and her beloved, all unseen
nymph - युवती, अप्सरा, देवी
To pass their lives in fountains and on flowers,
fountains - झरना, फव्वारा, जलयंत्र
And never know the weight of human hours.
Moons changing had roll'd on, and changeless found

Those their bright rise had lighted to such joys
As rarely they beheld throughout their round;
And these were not of the vain kind which cloys,
For theirs were buoyant spirits, never bound

Who never found a single hour too slow,

Young innate feelings all have felt below,

This is in others a factitious state,
factitious - कृत्रिम
An opium dream of too much youth and reading,
opium - अफ़ीम, अहिफेन, अफेन
But was in them their nature or their fate:
No novels e'er had set their young hearts bleeding,
For Haidee's knowledge was by no means great,
And Juan was a boy of saintly breeding;
saintly - सन्तसुलभ, साधु संतों जैस्, साधु संतों जैस्, पुण्यशील, संतसुलभ
So that there was no reason for their loves
More than for those of nightingales or doves.
nightingales - बुलबुल
doves - कबूतर, शांतीदूत
They gazed upon the sunset; 'tis an hour
Dear unto all, but dearest to their eyes,
For it had made them what they were: the power
Of love had first o'erwhelm'd them from such skies,
When happiness had been their only dower,
dower - part of deceased's property, property given to wife at marriage
And twilight saw them link'd in passion's ties;
Charm'd with each other, all things charm'd that brought
The past still welcome as the present thought.
I know not why, but in that hour to-night,
Even as they gazed, a sudden tremor came,
tremor - कंपन, रोमांच, कम्पन, कँपकँपी, थरथरी, थरथराहट
And swept, as 'twere, across their hearts'delight,
delight - ख़ुश, आनंद
Like the wind o'er a harp-string, or a flame,
string - तार
When one is shook in sound, and one in sight;
And thus some boding flash'd through either frame,
boding - भयभीत, (bod) भयभीत
And call'd from Juan's breast a faint low sigh,
While one new tear arose in Haidee's eye.
That large black prophet eye seem'd to dilate
prophet - नबी
dilate - फैलाना, फैल जाना
And follow far the disappearing sun,
As if their last day! of a happy date
With his broad, bright, and dropping orb were gone;
orb - वृत्त, स्वर्ण वर्तुल, खगोलीय गोला, पिंड, पृथ्वीमण्डल
Juan gazed on her as to ask his fate"
He felt a grief, but knowing cause for none,
His glance inquired of hers for some excuse
For feelings causeless, or at least abstruse.
She turn'd to him, and smiled, but in that sort
Which makes not others smile; then turn'd aside:
Whatever feeling shook her, it seem'd short,
And master'd by her wisdom or her pride;
When Juan spoke, too"it might be in sport"
Of this their mutual feeling, she replied"
'If it should be so,"but"it cannot be"
Or I at least shall not survive to see.'
Juan would question further, but she press'd
His lip to hers, and silenced him with this,
silenced - शांत करना, चुप्पी, निस्तब्धता, सन्नाटाआ, विस्मृति, चुप कर देना
And then dismiss'd the omen from her breast,
dismiss - खारिज करना
Defying augury with that fond kiss;
defying - विरोध करना, सामना करना, चुनौती देना, सामना करना, अवज्ञा करना

And no doubt of all methods 'tis the best:
Some people prefer wine"'tis not amiss;

May choose between the headache and the heartache.
One of the two, according to your choice,
Woman or wine, you'll have to undergo;
undergo - करना, अनुभव करना, झेलना, कराना, गुजरना, अप्रिय स्थिति से गुजरना
Both maladies are taxes on our joys:
But which to choose, I really hardly know;
And if I had to give a casting voice,
casting - भूमिका आबंटन कार्यअ, कलाकारों का चुनाव, ढलाई कार्यअ, ढलाई
For both sides I could many reasons show,
And then decide, without great wrong to either,
It were much better to have both than neither.
Juan and Haidee gazed upon each other
With swimming looks of speechless tenderness,
Which mix'd all feelings, friend, child, lover, brother,
All that the best can mingle and express
mingle - घुलना मिलना, घुल मिल जाना, मिलना जुलना
When two pure hearts are pour'd in one another,
And love too much, and yet can not love less;
But almost sanctify the sweet excess

excess - बहुत अधिक, अधिशेष, अधिकता, ज़्यादती, ज़रूरत से ज़्यादा
By the immortal wish and power to bless.
Mix'd in each other's arms, and heart in heart,
Why did they not then die?"they had lived too long
Should an hour come to bid them breathe apart;
Years could but bring them cruel things or wrong;
cruel - निर्दयी
The world was not for them, nor the world's art
For beings passionate as Sappho's song;
Love was born with them, in them, so intense,
It was their very spirit"not a sense.
They should have lived together deep in woods,
Unseen as sings the nightingale; they were
nightingale - बुलबुल
Unfit to mix in these thick solitudes

solitudes - एकांत, विरानी, अकेलापन, खिलवत

Now pillow'd cheek to cheek, in loving sleep,
Haidee and Juan their siesta took,

A gentle slumber, but it was not deep,
For ever and anon a something shook
Juan, and shuddering o'er his frame would creep;
shuddering - हिलना, (shudder) हिलना
And Haidee's sweet lips murmur'd like a brook
A wordless music, and her face so fair
Stirr'd with her dream, as rose-leaves with the air.
Or as the stirring of a deep dear stream
stirring of - उत्सुकता का उत्पीड़न
Within an Alpine hollow, when the wind
Walks o'er it, was she shaken by the dream,
The mystical usurper of the mind"
usurper - अनधिकार ग्राही, अनधिकार ग्राही
O'erpowering us to be whate'er may seem
Good to the soul which we no more can bind;
Strange state of being! (for 'tis still to be)
Senseless to feel, and with seal'd eyes to see.
She dream'd of being alone on the sea-shore,
Chain'd to a rock; she knew not how, but stir
She could not from the spot, and the loud roar
Grew, and each wave rose roughly, threatening her;
roughly - लगभग, रुखाई से, अशिष्टता से, असावधानी से, बेदर्दी से
threatening - धमकी भरा, आशंकाप्रद, (threaten), धमकाना

O'er the sharp shingles with her bleeding feet,
shingles - बजरी, कंकड़, तख्ते से ढाँकना, नामपट्ट, तख्ते से ढाँकना, तख़्ता
And stumbled almost every step she made;
And something roll'd before her in a sheet,
Which she must still pursue howe'er afraid:
'Twas white and indistinct, nor stopp'd to meet
indistinct - अस्पष्ट, अस्फुट
Her glance nor grasp, for still she gazed, and grasp'd,
And ran, but it escaped her as she clasp'd.

The dream changed:"in a cave she stood, its walls

Pale as the foam that froth'd on his dead brow,
froth - झाग उठना, फेन, झाग, महत्वहीन योजना, झाग उठना
Which she essay'd in vain to clear (how sweet
Were once her cares, how idle seem'd they now!),
Lay Juan, nor could aught renew the beat
Of his quench'd heart; and the sea dirges low
quench - बुझाना
dirges - शोक गीत
Rang in her sad ears like a mermaid's song,
mermaid - जलपरी r=jalparī, मत्स्यांगना
And that brief dream appear'd a life too long.

And gazing on the dead, she thought his face
Faded, or alter'd into something new"

Like to her father's features, till each trace"
More like and like to Lambro's aspect grew"
With all his keen worn look and Grecian grace;
And starting, she awoke, and what to view?
O! Powers of Heaven! what dark eye meets she there?
'Tis"'tis her father's"fix'd upon the pair!
Then shrieking, she arose, and shrieking fell,
shrieking - चीत्कार, (shriek)
With joy and sorrow, hope and fear, to see
Him whom she deem'd a habitant where dwell
habitant - निवासी
The ocean-buried, risen from death, to be
Perchance the death of one she loved too well:
perchance - कदाचित
Dear as her father had been to Haidee,
It was a moment of that awful kind"
I have seen such"but must not call to mind.
Up Juan sprung to Haidee's bitter shriek,
Bitter - कड़ुवा
And caught her falling, and from off the wall
Snatch'd down his sabre, in hot haste to wreak
sabre - सेबर
wreak - करना, होना, बदला लेना, गुस्सा उतरना
Vengeance on him who was the cause of all:
Then Lambro, who till now forbore to speak,
forbore - पूर्वज, अपने आप को रोक पाना, अपने आप को रोक पाना, बाज़ आना
Smiled scornfully, and said, 'Within my call,
scornfully - अवज्ञापूर्वक
A thousand scimitars await the word;
scimitars - शंशेरी
await - इंतज़ार करना r=intazār karnā
Put up, young man, put up your silly sword.'
And Haidee clung around him; 'Juan, 'tis"
'Tis Lambro"'tis my father! Kneel with me"
He will forgive us"yes"it must be"yes.
O! dearest father, in this agony
Of pleasure and of pain"even while I kiss
Thy garment's hem with transport, can it be

That doubt should mingle with my filial joy?

Deal with me as thou wilt, but spare this boy.'

Calm in his voice, and calm within his eye"
Not always signs with him of calmest mood:

He look'd upon her, but gave no reply;
Then turn'd to Juan, in whose cheek the blood
Oft came and went, as there resolved to die;
In arms, at least, he stood, in act to spring
On the first foe whom Lambro's call might bring.
'Young man, your sword;'so Lambro once more said:
Juan replied, 'Not while this arm is free.'
The old man's cheek grew pale, but not with dread,
And drawing from his belt a pistol, he
pistol - बंदूक, तमंचा, पिस्तौल
Replied, 'Your blood be then on your own head.'
Then look'd dose at the flint, as if to see
Flint - चक़मक़, चकमक
'Twas fresh"for he had lately used the lock"
And next proceeded quietly to cock.
It has a strange quick jar upon the ear,
jar - मर्तबान
That cocking of a pistol, when you know
cocking - शंकु आकार में भूसे का ढेर लगाना, मुर्गा, तिरछा करना
A moment more will bring the sight to bear
Upon your person, twelve yards off, or so;
yards - बाड़ा, रंगभूमि, अहाता, प्रांगण, गज़, हाता, आंगन, यार्ड
A gentlemanly distance, not too near,
If you have got a former friend for foe;
But after being fired at once or twice,
fired at - गोली मारी गई
The ear becomes more Irish, and less nice.
Lambro presented, and one instant more
Had stopp'd this Canto, and Don Juan's breath,
When Haidee threw herself her boy before;
Stern as her sire: 'On me,'she cried, 'let death
Descend"the fault is mine; this fatal shore
descend - उतरना
He found"but sought not. I have pledged my faith;
pledged - वचन, वादा करना, वादा करना, प्रतिज्ञा, वादा, गिरवी रखना
I love him"I will die with him: I knew

A minute past, and she had been all tears,
And tenderness, and infancy; but now
She stood as one who champion'd human fears"
champion - चैंपियन
Pale, statue-like, and stern, she woo'd the blow;
woo - प्रेम जताना
And tall beyond her sex, and their compeers,
She drew up to her height, as if to show
A fairer mark; and with a fix'd eye scann'd
Her father's face"but never stopp'd his hand.
He gazed on her, and she on him; 'twas strange
How like they look'd! the expression was the same;
Serenely savage, with a little change

In the large dark eye's mutual-darted flame;
darted - चुन्नट, (**), बर्छी, झपट्टा, भाला/बल्लम, शर, दौड़ कर जाना

Her father's blood before her father's face
Boil'd up, and proved her truly of his race.

Their stature, differing but in sex and years;
differing - एकमत न होना, भिन्न होना, भिन्न होना
Even to the delicacy of their hand
There was resemblance, such as true blood wears;

And now to see them, thus divided, stand
In fix'd ferocity, when joyous tears
ferocity - प्रचण्डता, उग्रता, खूँखारपना
joyous - आनंदमय, सानन्द
And sweet sensations should have welcomed both,
Show what the passions are in their full growth.
The father paused a moment, then withdrew
His weapon, and replaced it; but stood still,
weapon - हथियार, शस्त्र, आयुध
And looking on her, as to look her through,
'Not I,'he said, 'have sought this stranger's ill;
Not I have made this desolation: few

Would bear such outrage, and forbear to kill;
outrage - नाराज़ होना, बहुत खराब बात, संक्षुब्ध करना, नाराज़गी

disarm - हथियार छीन लेना, प्रहार क्षमता कम करना, निरस्त्र कर देना
His own shall roll before you like a ball!'
He raised his whistle, as the word he said,
whistle - सीटी
And blew; another answer'd to the call,
And rushing in disorderly, though led,
disorderly - अव्यवस्थित
And arm'd from boot to turban, one and all,
Some twenty of his train came, rank on rank;
He gave the word,"'Arrest or slay the Frank.'
arrest - गिरफ़्तारी

frank - स्पष्टवादी, सरल
Then, with a sudden movement, he withdrew
His daughter; while compress'd within his clasp,

In vain she struggled in her father's grasp"
His arms were like a serpent's coil: then flew
serpent - नाग, साँप, मणिधर
Upon their prey, as darts an angry asp,
The file of pirates; save the foremost, who
file - रेती
pirates - अपहरण करना, साहित्यिक चोरी करना, समुद्री डाकू, साहित्यिक चोर
Had fallen, with his right shoulder half cut through.
The second had his cheek laid open; but

The third, a wary, cool old sworder, took
wary - सावधान r=sāvdhān
sworder - तलवारवाला
The blows upon his cutlass, and then put
cutlass - सुखरी
His own well in; so well, ere you could look,
His man was floor'd, and helpless at his foot,
With the blood running like a little brook

granting - स्वीकार करना, देना, अनुदान, अधिकार देना, अनुमति देना
Something imperial, or imperious, threw
imperious - उद्धत, दंभपूर्ण
A chain o'er all she did; that is, a chain
Was thrown as 'twere about the neck of you,"
And rapture's self will seem almost a pain
self will - खुद ही
With aught which looks like despotism in view:
despotism - तानाशाही
Our souls at least are free, and 'tis in vain
We would against them make the flesh obey"
The spirit in the end will have its way.
Her very smile was haughty, though so sweet;
Her very nod was not an inclination;
nod - ऊँघना, झूमना, सिर हिलाना, हुक्म, सम्मति, सहमति प्रकट करना
inclination - रुचि, झुकाव, शौक, ढाल, पसंद, प्रवृति
There was a self-will even in her small feet,
As though they were quite conscious of her station"
They trod as upon necks; and to complete
Her state (it is the custom of her nation),
A poniard deck'd her girdle, as the sign
poniard - खंजर
She was a sultan's bride (thank Heaven, not mine!).
'To hear and to obey'had been from birth
The law of all around her; to fulfill
fulfill - पूरा करना, कार्यान्वित करना, पूरा करना, संतुष्ट करना
All phantasies which yielded joy or mirth,
phantasies - स्वैर कल्पना
Had been her slaves'chief pleasure, as her will;
Her blood was high, her beauty scarce of earth:
Judge, then, if her caprices e'er stood still;
caprices - सनक, उमंग, लहर, तरंग, झक
Had she but been a Christian, I've a notion
We should have found out the 'perpetual motion.'
Whate'er she saw and coveted was brought;
coveted - लोभ करना, गलत तरीके से पाने की इच्छा
Whate'er she did not see, if she supposed
It might be seen, with diligence was sought,
diligence - अध्यवसाय, परिश्रम
And when 'twas found straightway the bargain closed;
straightway - तुरंत, सीधा
There was no end unto the things she bought,
Nor to the trouble which her fancies caused;
Yet even her tyranny had such a grace,
The women pardon'd all except her face.
Juan, the latest of her whims, had caught
Her eye in passing on his way to sale;
passing on - पारित करना
She order'd him directly to be bought,
directly - सीधे, जल्दी, तुरन्त, स्पष्टतः, स्पष्ट रुप से, स्पष्ट रुप से
And Baba, who had ne'er been known to fail
In any kind of mischief to be wrought,
At all such auctions knew how to prevail:
auctions - नीलामी करना, नीलामी, नीलामी करना
prevail - प्रचलित होना, जीत लेना
She had no prudence, but he had; and this
prudence - समझदारी, सावधानी, बुद्धिमानी, बुध्दिमत्ता
Explains the garb which Juan took amiss.
His youth and features favour'd the disguise,
And, should you ask how she, a sultan's bride,
Could risk or compass such strange phantasies,
This I must leave sultanas to decide:
Emperors are only husbands in wives'eyes,
emperors - कैसर, सम्राट
And kings and consorts oft are mystified,
consorts - साथ जाना, मेल खाना, पत्नी/पति खासकर किसी शासक की, मेल करना
As we may ascertain with due precision,
Some by experience, others by tradition.
by experience - अनुभव से
But to the main point, where we have been tending:"
tending - होना, देना, देखभाल करना, लगना, जाना, रूख होना, झुकना
She now conceived all difficulties past,
conceived - कल्पना करना, अनुमान होना, सोचना, गर्भवती होना, अनुमान होना
difficulties - समस्या, कठिनता, कठिनाई, असुविधा, अड़चन, आपत्ति, टंग्, असुख
And deem'd herself extremely condescending
condescending - अनुग्रह करना, अनुग्रह करना, कृपा दिखाना, कृपा दिखाना
When, being made her property at last,
property - संपत्ति
Without more preface, in her blue eyes blending
preface - प्रस्तावना
Passion and power, a glance on him she cast,
And merely saying, 'Christian, canst thou love?'
Conceived that phrase was quite enough to move
And so it was, in proper time and place;
But Juan, who had still his mind o'erflowing
With Haidee's isle and soft Ionian face,
Felt the warm blood, which in his face was glowing,
Rush back upon his heart, which fill'd apace,
And left his cheeks as pale as snowdrops blowing;
snowdrops - गुलचाँदनी
These words went through his soul like Arab-spears,
spears - बरछा, भाला, छेदना, भाले की तरह निकला होना, बल्लम, बरछी
So that he spoke not, but burst into tears.
She was a good deal shock'd; not shock'd at tears,
For women shed and use them at their liking;
But there is something when man's eye appears
Wet, still more disagreeable and striking;
disagreeable - अप्रिय, झगड़ालू
striking - असाधारण, आश्चर्यजनक, ध्यान आकर्षित करनेवाली, अत्यधिक आकर्षक
A woman's tear-drop melts, a man's half sears,
sears - सूखा, झुलसाना, दुख पहुँचाना, झुलसा देना, दुख पहुँचाना
Like molten lead, as if you thrust a pike in
His heart to force it out, for (to be shorter)
To them 'tis a relief, to us a torture.
And she would have consoled, but knew not how:
consoled - दीवारगीर, सान्त्वना देना, सान्त्वनाएना, शोभाकोष्ठक, ढाँचा
Having no equals, nothing which had e'er
equals - की बराबरी करना, समान, सक्षम, के बराबर होना, की बराबरी करना
Infected her with sympathy till now,
infected - इनफेक्ट करना, दूषित करना, प्रभावित करना, प्रदूषित करना
And never having dreamt what 'twas to bear
Aught of a serious, sorrowing kind, although
sorrowing - दुःखी, (sorrow), दुःख, उदासी, शोक, ग़म
There might arise some pouting petty care
pouting - उल्टी हुई होती हुई, (pout) उल्टी हुई होती हुई
To cross her brow, she wonder'd how so near
Her eyes another's eye could shed a tear.
But nature teaches more than power can spoil,
And, when a strong although a strange sensation
Moves"female hearts are such a genial soil
For kinder feelings, whatsoe'er their nation,
They naturally pour the 'wine and oil,'
Samaritans in every situation;
Samaritans - समारी/फोन पर मिलने वाली सहायता, नेक आदमी
And thus Gulbeyaz, though she knew not why,
Felt an odd glistening moisture in her eye.
But tears must stop like all things else; and soon
Juan, who for an instant had been moved
To such a sorrow by the intrusive tone
intrusive - दखल देने वाला, घुसपैठ करने वाला
Of one who dared to ask if 'he had loved,'
Call'd back the stoic to his eyes, which shone
Bright with the very weakness he reproved;
reproved - फटकारना, कटु आलोचना करना, कटु आलोचना करना, डाँटना
And although sensitive to beauty, he
sensitive - निजी, दिल को छूने वाला, कोमल, दिल को छूने वाला, छूईमुई
Felt most indignant still at not being free.
most indignant - सबसे गुस्सेदार
Gulbeyaz, for the first time in her days,
Was much embarrass'd, never having met
In all her life with aught save prayers and praise;
And as she also risk'd her life to get
Him whom she meant to tutor in love's ways
Into a comfortable tete-a-tete,
tete-a-tete - (tete-a-tete) एक तो एक
To lose the hour would make her quite a martyr,
And they had wasted now almost a quarter.
wasted - व्यर्थ, निरर्थक, क्षीणकाय, नष्ट, कृश, बेकार
I also would suggest the fitting time
To gentlemen in any such like case,
That is to say in a meridian clime"
With us there is more law given to the chase,
But here a small delay forms a great crime:
So recollect that the extremest grace
Is just two minutes for your declaration"
declaration - वचन, घोषणा, घोषण पत्र, ब्यौरा
A moment more would hurt your reputation.
reputation - प्रतिष्ठा, प्रसिद्धि, नाम, शोहरत
Juan's was good; and might have been still better,
But he had got Haidee into his head:
However strange, he could not yet forget her,
Which made him seem exceedingly ill-bred.
Gulbeyaz, who look'd on him as her debtor
debtor - ऋणी, देनदार
For having had him to her palace led,
Began to blush up to the eyes, and then
Grow deadly pale, and then blush back again.
At length, in an imperial way, she laid
Her hand on his, and bending on him eyes
Which needed not an empire to persuade,
persuade - मनाना
Look'd into his for love, where none replies:
Her brow grew black, but she would not upbraid,
upbraid - भर्त्सना करना, भर्त्स्ना करना
That being the last thing a proud woman tries;
She rose, and pausing one chaste moment, threw
Herself upon his breast, and there she grew.
This was an awkward test, as Juan found,
But he was steel'd by sorrow, wrath, and pride:
steel - इस्पात, फौलाद, तलवार, ताकत
With gentle force her white arms he unwound,
unwound - खोलना, खुलना, शांत होना, शांत हो जाना, उधेड़, तनाव कम करना
And seated her all drooping by his side,
Then rising haughtily he glanced around,
haughtily - अहंकारपूर्वक, दंभपूर्ण ढंग से, दंभपूर्ण ढंग से
glanced - चमकना, ग्लांस करना, नजर डालना, दृष्टि डालना, सरसरी नजर, नजरअ
And looking coldly in her face, he cried,
coldly - रुखाई से, बिना उत्साह के, रुखाई से
'The prison'd eagle will not pair, nor
Serve a Sultana's sensual phantasy.
Sultana - सुल्ताना, सुलताना
sensual - कामुक, विषयासक्त, रत्यात्मक
phantasy - स्वैर कल्पना
'Thou ask'st if I can love? be this the proof
How much I have loved"that I love not thee!
In this vile garb, the distaff, web, and woof,
distaff - अंटी, अटेरन, अँडिया
Woof - कुत्ते की आवाज़
Were fitter for me: Love is for the free!
I am not dazzled by this splendid roof,
dazzled - चकित होना, चमक दमकअ, तेज रोशनीई, चौंधिया जाना
Whate'er thy power, and great it seems to be;
Heads bow, knees bend, eyes watch around a throne,
And hands obey"our hearts are still our own.'
This was a truth to us extremely trite;
Not so to her, who ne'er had heard such things:
She deem'd her least command must yield delight,
Earth being only made for queens and kings.
If hearts lay on the left side or the right
She hardly knew, to such perfection brings
Legitimacy its born votaries, when
legitimacy - वैधता
votaries - समर्थक, अनुयायी, धर्मसंघी, भक्त, उपासक
Aware of their due royal rights o'er men.
Besides, as has been said, she was so fair
As even in a much humbler lot had made
A kingdom or confusion anywhere,
And also, as may be presumed, she laid
presumed - मान लेना, चुनौती देना, साहस करना, मान लिया जाना
Some stress on charms, which seldom are, if e'er,
By their possessors thrown into the shade:
possessors - मालिक, स्वामी
She thought hers gave a double 'right divine;'
And half of that opinion 's also mine.
Remember, or (if you can not) imagine,
Ye, who have kept your chastity when young,
chastity - शुचिता, सतीत्व, शुद्धता
While some more desperate dowager has been waging
Dowager - पदवीयुक्त विधवा, पदवीयुक्त विधवा
waging - करना, किराया करना, तनखाह, शुरू करना, वेतन, मजदूरी
Love with you, and been in the dog-days stung
By your refusal, recollect her raging!
refusal - इनकार
Or recollect all that was said or sung
On such a subject; then suppose the face
Of a young downright beauty in this case.
Suppose,"but you already have supposed,
The spouse of Potiphar, the Lady Booby,
booby - मूर्ख
Phaedra, and all which story has disclosed
disclosed - बताना, दिखाना, प्रकट करना, खोलना, प्रकट करना, ज़ाहिर करना
Of good examples; pity that so few by
Poets and private tutors are exposed,
exposed - दिखाना, विवरण, प्रकट करना, खोलना, डालना, प्रदर्शित करना
To educate"ye youth of Europe"you by!
But when you have supposed the few we know,
You can't suppose Gulbeyaz'angry brow.
A tigress robb'd of young, a lioness,
Or any interesting beast of prey,
beast of prey - भेड़ का शिकारी
Are similes at hand for the distress
similes - उपमा
Of ladies who can not have their own way;
But though my turn will not be served with less,
These don't express one half what I should say:
For what is stealing young ones, few or many,
To cutting short their hopes of having any?
The love of offspring 's nature's general law,
From tigresses and cubs to ducks and ducklings;
tigresses - शेरनी
cubs - कब, शावक, बच्चा{सिंह/लोमड़ी आदि पशु का}, नौसिखिया, बच्चा देना
ducks - झुकाना, अयोग्य व्यक्ति, वार बचाना, दूर रहना, दूर रखना, भूलना
There's nothing whets the beak, or arms the claw
whets - उत्तेजित करना, बढ़ा देना, धार करना, तेज़ कर देना, तेज़ करना
beak - चोंच, चंचु
Like an invasion of their babes and sucklings;
invasion - आक्रमण, हमला
And all who have seen a human nursery, saw
nursery - नर्सरी, संवर्धन स्थान, संवर्धन स्थान
How mothers love their children's squalls and chucklings;
squalls - चिल्लाना, आँधी, आँधी आना, किकियाना, चिल्ला कर रोना
This strong extreme effect (to tire no longer
tire - थकाना, उकता देना, थका देना, थक जाना, ऊब, ऊब जाना, टायर, ऊबाना
Your patience) shows the cause must still be stronger.
If I said fire flash'd from Gulbeyaz'eyes,
'Twere nothing"for her eyes flash'd always fire;
Or said her cheeks assumed the deepest dyes,
assumed - समझना, रूप धारण करना, मानना, बहाना करना, कार्यभार संभालना।
I should but bring disgrace upon the dyer,
dyer - रंगरेज़
So supernatural was her passion's rise;
For ne'er till now she knew a check'd desire:
Even ye who know what a check'd woman is
(Enough, God knows!) would much fall short of this.
fall short - असफल हो जाना
Her rage was but a minute's, and 'twas well"
A moment's more had slain her; but the while
It lasted 'twas like a short glimpse of hell:
Nought 's more sublime than energetic bile,
energetic - बल, चुस्त, ओजस्वी, कर्मठ, तेजस
Though horrible to see yet grand to tell,
horrible - भयंकर
Like ocean warring 'gainst a rocky isle;
And the deep passions flashing through her form
Made her a beautiful embodied storm.
embodied - सम्मिलित करना, साकार करना, मूर्त रूप देना, मूर्त रूप देना
A vulgar tempest 'twere to a typhoon
typhoon - आंधी, तूफ़ान, तूफान
To match a common fury with her rage,
And yet she did not want to reach the moon,
Like moderate Hotspur on the immortal page;
Hotspur - हॉट्सपर
Her anger pitch'd into a lower tune,
Perhaps the fault of her soft sex and age"
Her wish was but to 'kill, kill, kill,'like Lear's,
And then her thirst of blood was quench'd in tears.
A storm it raged, and like the storm it pass'd,
raged - छेड़ छाड़ करना, घटिया समाचारपत्र, बहुत तंग करना
Pass'd without words"in fact she could not speak;
And then her sex's shame broke in at last,
A sentiment till then in her but weak,
sentiment - भावना, विचार, मनोभाव, भावुकता
But now it flow'd in natural and fast,
As water through an unexpected leak;
For she felt humbled"and humiliation
humbled - विनम्र, नीचा दिखाना, नम्र, नम्र बनाना, नीच
humiliation - निरादर, अपमान
Is sometimes good for people in her station
It teaches them that they are flesh and blood,
It also gently hints to them that others,
Although of clay, are yet not quite of mud;
mud - कीचड़
That urns and pipkins are but fragile brothers,
urns - एक प्रकार का गोल बर्तन/सुराही/जलपात्र, केतली, कलश
And works of the same pottery, bad or good,
pottery - मिट्टी के बर्तनों
Though not all born of the same sires and mothers:
It teaches"Heaven knows only what it teaches,
But sometimes it may mend, and often reaches.
Her first thought was to cut off Juan's head;
Her second, to cut only his"acquaintance;
Her third, to ask him where he had been bred;
Her fourth, to rally him into repentance;
rally - एकत्रित करना
Her fifth, to call her maids and go to bed;
Her sixth, to stab herself; her seventh, to sentence
stab - भोंकना
The lash to Baba:"but her grand resource
resource - युक्ति
Was to sit down again, and cry of course.
She thought to stab herself, but then she had
The dagger close at hand, which made it awkward;
For Eastern stays are little made to pad,
pad - कागज की गड्डी
So that a poniard pierces if 'tis stuck hard:
pierces - प्रभावित करना, छेद करना, भेदना, जबरदस्ती प्रवेश करना, चुभाना
She thought of killing Juan"but, poor lad!
Though he deserved it well for being so backward,
The cutting off his head was not the art
Most likely to attain her aim"his heart.
aim - निशाना बनाना
Juan was moved; he had made up his mind
To be impaled, or quarter'd as a dish
impaled - फँसाना, छेदना, बींधना
For dogs, or to be slain with pangs refined,
Or thrown to lions, or made baits for fish,
baits - परेशान करना, चारा, सताना, आकर्षित करना, प्रलोभन, आकर्षित करना
And thus heroically stood resign'd,
Rather than sin"except to his own wish:
But all his great preparatives for dying
Dissolved like snow before a woman crying.
As through his palms Bob Acres'valour oozed,
palms - हाथ में छिपाना, करतल, हाथ में छिपाना, हथेली, ताड़
acres - 4840 वर्ग गज भूमि, एकड़, एकर
oozed - टपकाना, बहना, दलदल, रिसाव, चूना/धीरे धीरे बहना, मृदुपंक
So Juan's virtue ebb'd, I know not how;
And first he wonder'd why he had refused;
And then, if matters could be made up now;
And next his savage virtue he accused,
Just as a friar may accuse his vow,
accuse - अभियोग लगाना, दोष लगाना, अभियोग लगाना, दोष लगाना
Or as a dame repents her of her oath,
repents - पश्चाताप करना, पछताना, पश्चाताप करना
Which mostly ends in some small breach of both.
breach - दरार, विच्छेद, भंग, दरार करना, भेद देना, में दरार पैदा करना
So he began to stammer some excuses;
But words are not enough in such a matter,
Although you borrow'd all that e'er the muses
Have sung, or even a Dandy's dandiest chatter,
dandiest - बहुत आकर्षक, बाँका/छैला
Or all the figures Castlereagh abuses;
abuses - गाली, दुर्व्यवहार, बरबाद करना, दुरुपयोग, हनन, अपशब्द
Just as a languid smile began to flatter
His peace was making, but before he ventured
ventured - जाने का साहस करना, करने का साहस करना, उपक्रम, साहसिक कार्य
Further, old Baba rather briskly enter'd.
briskly - तेज़ी से, तेज़ी से
'Bride of the Sun! and Sister of the Moon!'
('Twas thus he spake) 'and Empress of the Earth!
Empress - महारानी, सम्राज्ञी, साम्राज्ञी
Whose frown would put the spheres all out of tune,
Whose smile makes all the planets dance with mirth,
Your slave brings tidings"he hopes not too soon"
tidings - समाचार, ख़बर
Which your sublime attention may be worth:
The Sun himself has sent me like a ray,
To hint that he is coming up this way.'
'Is it,'exclaim'd Gulbeyaz, 'as you say?
I wish to heaven he would not shine till morning!
But bid my women form the milky way.
Hence, my old comet! give the stars due warning"
comet - धूमकेतु, केतुग्रह, पुच्छल तारा, केतु
And, Christian! mingle with them as you may,
And as you'd have me pardon your past scorning-'
scorning - तिरस्कार, (scorn) तिरस्कार
Here they were interrupted by a humming
humming - गाना गाना, (hum) गाना गाना
Sound, and then by a cry, 'The Sultan 's coming!'
First came her damsels, a decorous file,
decorous - मर्यादित
And then his Highness'eunuchs, black and white;
The train might reach a quarter of a mile:
His majesty was always so polite
As to announce his visits a long while
announce - घोषणा, उद्घोषणा करना, घोषित करना, घोषणा करना, जोर से कहना
Before he came, especially at night;
For being the last wife of the Emperour,
She was of course the favorite of the four.
favorite - प्रिय, पसंदीदा
His Highness was a man of solemn port,
Shawl'd to the nose, and bearded to the eyes,
bearded - खुलेआम विरोध करना, दाढी नोचना, गलमुच्छ
Snatch'd from a prison to preside at court,
preside - पीठासीन
His lately bowstrung brother caused his rise;
He was as good a sovereign of the sort
As any mention'd in the histories
Of Cantemir, or Knolles, where few shine
Save Solyman, the glory of their line.
He went to mosque in state, and said his prayers
mosque - मस्जिद, मसजिद, मसीद, मसीत
With more than 'Oriental scrupulosity;'
scrupulosity - पापशंकालुता
He left to his vizier all state affairs,
state affairs - राजनीतिक मामले
And show'd but little royal curiosity:
I know not if he had domestic cares"
No process proved connubial animosity;
animosity - द्वेष, दुश्मनी की भावना, बैर, वैरभाव, अति घृणा, द्रोह, कुभावना
Four wives and twice five hundred maids, unseen,
Were ruled as calmly as a Christian queen.
If now and then there happen'd a slight slip,
Little was heard of criminal or crime;
The story scarcely pass'd a single lip"
The sack and sea had settled all in time,
sack - बोरा, बोरी
From which the secret nobody could rip:
The Public knew no more than does this rhyme;
No scandals made the daily press a curse"
daily press - दैनिक प्रेस
Morals were better, and the fish no worse.
He saw with his own eyes the moon was round,
Was also certain that the earth was square,
Because he had journey'd fifty miles, and found
No sign that it was circular anywhere;
circular - वृत्तीय, वर्तुल, गोल, वृत्ताकार
His empire also was without a bound:
'Tis true, a little troubled here and there,
By rebel pachas, and encroaching giaours,
encroaching - अतिक्रमण करना, अनधिकार प्रवेश करना, अतिक्रमण करना
But then they never came to 'the Seven Towers;'
Except in shape of envoys, who were sent
envoys - दूत, उपराजदूत
To lodge there when a war broke out, according
Lodge - रखना, जमा करना, मकान, दायर करना, ठहरना, छोटा मकान, ठहराना
To the true law of nations, which ne'er meant
Those scoundrels, who have never had a sword in
scoundrels - बदमाश, बदमाश/दुष्ट
Their dirty diplomatic hands, to vent
vent - छिद्र
Their spleen in making strife, and safely wording
Their lies, yclep'd despatches, without risk or

singeing - झुलस जाना, झुलस जाना, झुलसाना, झुलसन, झुलसना/झुलसाना
inky - स्याही भरा, स्याह, स्याही भरा
whisker - गलमुच्छा, मूँछ
He had fifty daughters and four dozen sons,
Of whom all such as came of age were stow'd,
The former in a palace, where like nuns
Nuns - सन्यासिन/बैरागिन, संन्यासिनी
They lived till some Bashaw was sent abroad,
bashaw - बाशा
When she, whose turn it was, was wed at once,
Sometimes at six years old"though it seems odd,
'Tis true; the reason is, that the Bashaw
Must make a present to his sire in law.
make a present - एक उपहार बनाओ
His sons were kept in prison, till they grew
Of years to fill a bowstring or the throne,
bowstring - ज्या, प्रत्यंचा
One or the other, but which of the two
Could yet be known unto the fates alone;
Meantime the education they went through
Was princely, as the proofs have always shown:
princely - शानदार, राजसी, भव्य, शाही
So that the heir apparent still was found
heir apparent - उत्तरदायी
No less deserving to be hang'd than crown'd.
deserving - योग्य, लायक, (deserve) योग्य
hang - लटकाना, टांकना, काटना
His majesty saluted his fourth spouse

With all the ceremonies of his rank,
ceremonies - अवसर, अतिशयोक्ति, विधि, रीति, प्रथा, रस्म, समारोह, समारंभअ
Who clear'd her sparkling eyes and smooth'd her brows,
As suits a matron who has play'd a prank;
prank - लंगराई
These must seem doubly mindful of their vows,
mindful - सावधान, सतर्क
To save the credit of their breaking bank:
To no men are such cordial greetings given
As those whose wives have made them fit for heaven.
His Highness cast around his great black eyes,
And looking, as he always look'd, perceived
Juan amongst the damsels in disguise,
At which he seem'd no whit surprised nor grieved,
whit - कण, लेशमात्र
But just remark'd with air sedate and wise,
While still a fluttering sigh Gulbeyaz heaved,
'I see you've bought another girl; 'tis pity
That a mere Christian should be half so pretty.'
This compliment, which drew all eyes upon
compliment - तारीफ़, प्रशंसा
The new-bought virgin, made her blush and shake.
Her comrades, also, thought themselves undone:
comrades - साथी, कमरेड
O! Mahomet! that his majesty should take
Such notice of a giaour, while scarce to one
giaour - काफ़िर
Of them his lips imperial ever spake!
There was a general whisper, toss, and wriggle,
wriggle - कसमसाहट, छटपटाना, कसमसाना, छटपटाहट, कुलबुलाना/परिसर्पण गति
But etiquette forbade them all to giggle.
giggle - मन्द मन्द हंसना, ठट्ठा
The Turks do well to shut"at least, sometimes"
The women up, because, in sad reality,
Their chastity in these unhappy climes
Is not a thing of that astringent quality
astringent - कटु, कठोर, खट्टा, कषाय, कसैला, स्तंभक, कड़वा
Which in the North prevents precocious crimes,
And makes our snow less pure than our morality;
The sun, which yearly melts the polar ice,
polar - विपरीत, ध्रुवीय
Has quite the contrary effect on vice.
Thus in the East they are extremely strict,
And Wedlock and a Padlock mean the same;
padlock - ताला
Excepting only when the former 's pick'd
It ne'er can be replaced in proper frame;
Spoilt, as a pipe of claret is when prick'd:
But then their own Polygamy 's to blame;
polygamy - बहुविवाह, बहुपत्नीकत्व
Why don't they knead two virtuous souls for life
knead - मसाज़ करना, मालिश करना, गूँदना, गूंधना, सानना
Into that moral centaur, man and wife?
centaur - सेंटूर
Thus far our chronicle; and now we pause,
Though not for want of matter; but 'tis time
According to the ancient epic laws,
To slacken sail, and anchor with our rhyme.
slacken - कम करना, घटाना, धीमा करना, धीमा पड़ जाना, कम कर देना
Let this fifth canto meet with due applause,
The sixth shall have a touch of the sublime;
Meanwhile, as Homer sometimes sleeps, perhaps
Meanwhile - इस बीच, इसी दौरान
You'll pardon to my muse a few short naps.
naps - झपकी, अल्प निद्रा, झपकी लेना, रोएंदार वस्ट्र
'There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which,"taken at the flood,'"you know the rest,
And most of us have found it now and then;

The favourite; but what 's favour amongst four?

With all the damsels in their long array,
Had bow'd themselves before th'imperial eyes,
And at the usual signal ta'en their way
Back to their chambers, those long galleries
In the seraglio, where the ladies lay
Their delicate limbs; a thousand bosoms there
Beating for love, as the caged bird's for air.
I love the sex, and sometimes would reverse
reverse - उलटना
The tyrant's wish, 'that mankind only had
One neck, which he with one fell stroke might pierce:'
My wish is quite as wide, but not so bad,

That womankind had but one rosy mouth,
To kiss them all at once from North to South.

From ogling all their charms from breasts to backs.

Still he forgot not his disguise:"along
The galleries from room to room they walk'd,
A virgin-like and edifying throng,

By eunuchs flank'd; while at their head there stalk'd

Without her sanction on their she-parades:
sanction - मंजूरी
parades - दिखाना, इकठ्ठा, दिखावा करना, जुलूस निकालना, परेड
Her title was 'the Mother of the Maids.'
Whether she was a 'mother,'I know not,
Or whether they were 'maids'who call'd her mother;
But this is her seraglio title, got
I know not how, but good as any other;
So Cantemir can tell you, or De Tott:
Her office was to keep aloof or smother
All bad propensities in fifteen hundred
propensities - प्रवृत्ति, झुकाव
Young women, and correct them when they blunder'd.
A goodly sinecure, no doubt! but made
sinecure - दायित्वहीन पद, आराम की नौकरी, आराम की नौकरी

Along the rest, contrived to keep this den
Of beauties cool as an Italian convent,
beauties - सुन्दरता, अच्छी चीज़, सौंदर्य, अच्छा व्यक्ति, सुंदर स्ट्री
Where all the passions have, alas! but one vent.
And what is that? Devotion, doubtless"how
Could you ask such a question?"but we will

Of ladies of all countries at the will
Of one good man, with stately march and slow,
Like water-lilies floating down a rill"
lilies - कुमुदिनी, कुमुदिनी/लिली
Or rather lake, for rills do not run slowly"

When freed from bonds (which are of no great use
After all), or like Irish at a fair,

Establish'd between them and bondage, they
establish - प्रमाणित करना, स्थापित करना, बनाना, स्थापित करना

Their talk, of course, ran most on the new comer;
comer - प्रत्याशी, आगंतुक
Her shape, her hair, her air, her everything:
Some thought her dress did not so much become her,
Or wonder'd at her ears without a ring;
Some said her years were getting nigh their summer,
Others contended they were but in spring;
Some thought her rather masculine in height,
While others wish'd that she had been so quite.
But no one doubted on the whole, that she
Was what her dress bespoke, a damsel fair,
And fresh, and 'beautiful exceedingly,'
Who with the brightest Georgians might compare:
They wonder'd how Gulbeyaz, too, could be
So silly as to buy slaves who might share
(If that his Highness wearied of his bride)
wearied - थकाना, उकता देना, उबाऊ, ऊबा हुआ, ऊबा हुआ, ऊब जाना, क्लान्त
Her throne and power, and every thing beside.
But what was strangest in this virgin crew,
Although her beauty was enough to vex,
After the first investigating view,
investigating - पता लगाना, अनुसंधान करना, सोच विचार करना, छान बीन करना, जांचना
They all found out as few, or fewer, specks
In the fair form of their companion new,
Than is the custom of the gentle sex,
When they survey, with Christian eyes or Heathen,
In a new face 'the ugliest creature breathing.'
And yet they had their little jealousies,
Like all the rest; but upon this occasion,
Whether there are such things as sympathies
sympathies - संवेदना, सहमति, सहानुभूति, समर्थन, हमदर्दी, मेल
Without our knowledge or our approbation,
Although they could not see through his disguise,
All felt a soft kind of concatenation,

Like magnetism, or devilism, or what
magnetism - चुंबकत्व r=cumbakatva
You please"we will not quarrel about that:
But certain 'tis they all felt for their new
Companion something newer still, as 'twere
A sentimental friendship through and through,
Extremely pure, which made them all concur
concur - सहमत होना, सहमत होना
In wishing her their sister, save a few
Who wish'd they had a brother just like her,
Whom, if they were at home in sweet Circassia,
They would prefer to Padisha or Pacha.
Of those who had most genius for this sort
Of sentimental friendship, there were three,
Lolah, Katinka, and Dudu; in short
(To save description), fair as fair can be
Were they, according to the best report,
Though differing in stature and degree,
And clime and time, and country and complexion;
They all alike admired their new connection.
Lolah was dusk as India and as warm;
dusk - गोधूलि वेला, संध्या, संध्याकाल/गोधूली
India - भारत, भारतवर्ष
Katinka was a Georgian, white and red,
Georgian - ब्रिटिश बादशाह जोर्ज के समय का, जर्जकालीन
With great blue eyes, a lovely hand and arm,
And feet so small they scarce seem'd made to tread,

But rather skim the earth; while Dudu's form

Look'd more adapted to be put to bed,
more adapted - अधिक अनुकूलित

Yet of a beauty that would drive you crazy.
A kind of sleepy Venus seem'd Dudu,

Yet very fit to 'murder sleep'in those

Who gazed upon her cheek's transcendent hue,
transcendent - उत्कृष्ट, ज्ञानातीत
Her Attic forehead, and her Phidian nose:
Few angles were there in her form, 'tis true,
angles - दृष्टिकोण, कोण, कोना, विशेष दृष्टिकोण से प्रस्तुत करना
Thinner she might have been, and yet scarce lose;
Yet, after all, 'twould puzzle to say where
It would not spoil some separate charm to pare.

She was not violently lively, but
violently - हिंसात्मक ढंग से
lively - फुर्तीला, सक्रिय, प्रफुल्ल, दिलचस्प, सजीव, उछालदार, ऊर्जावान
Stole on your spirit like a May-day breaking;
May-Day - (May-Day) मे डे
Her eyes were not too sparkling, yet, half-shut,
They put beholders in a tender taking;
She look'd (this simile 's quite new) just cut
From marble, like Pygmalion's statue waking,
Pygmalion - पायगमेलियन
The mortal and the marble still at strife,
And timidly expanding into life.
expanding - फैलना, फैलाना, फैल जाना, खुलना, विस्तार करना, विकसीत होना
Lolah demanded the new damsel's name"
'Juanna.'"Well, a pretty name enough.
Katinka ask'd her also whence she came"
'From Spain.'"'But where is Spain?'"'Don't ask such stuff,
Nor show your Georgian ignorance"for shame!'
Said Lolah, with an accent rather rough,
To poor Katinka: 'Spain 's an island near
Morocco, betwixt Egypt and Tangier.'
morocco - चमड़ा{एक प्रकार}, मोरक्को, मरक्को चमड़ा
betwixt - between
Tangier - टैनजियर, (tangi)
Dudu said nothing, but sat down beside
Juanna, playing with her veil or hair;
And looking at her steadfastly, she sigh'd,
steadfastly - दृढ़तापूर्वक
As if she pitied her for being there,
pitied - दया, खैद का विषय, स्नेह, लज्जा, तर्स, हमदर्दी, तर्स आना
A pretty stranger without friend or guide,
And all abash'd, too, at the general stare
Which welcomes hapless strangers in all places,
strangers - परदेशी, अपरिचित, परदेसी, अजनबी, अपरिचित व्यक्ति, ऐरा गैरा
With kind remarks upon their mien and faces.
But here the Mother of the Maids drew near,
With, 'Ladies, it is time to go to rest.
I'm puzzled what to do with you, my dear,'
She added to Juanna, their new guest:
'Your coming has been unexpected here,
And every couch is occupied; you had best
Partake of mine; but by to-morrow early
We will have all things settled for you fairly.'
Here Lolah interposed"'Mamma, you know
You don't sleep soundly, and I cannot bear
That anybody should disturb you so;
I'll take Juanna; we're a slenderer pair
slenderer - कम, दुबला पतला, छरहरा, पतला, सँकरा, महीन
Than you would make the half of;"don't say no;
And I of your young charge will take due care.'
But here Katinka interfered, and said,
'She also had compassion and a bed.
'Besides, I hate to sleep alone,'quoth she.
The matron frown'd: 'Why so?'"'For fear of ghosts,'
ghosts - भूत, प्रेतात्मा, फीकी, गूढ लेखन करना, गूढ लेखन करना
Replied Katinka; 'I am sure I see
A phantom upon each of the four posts;

And then I have the worst dreams that can be,
Of Guebres, Giaours, and Ginns, and Gouls in hosts.'
Hosts - आयोजित करना, आयोजित करना, समूह, पोषक, सूत्रधार, आयोजन करना
The dame replied, 'Between your dreams and you,
I fear Juanna's dreams would be but few.
'You, Lolah, must continue still to lie
Alone, for reasons which don't matter; you
The same, Katinka, until by and by;
And I shall place Juanna with Dudu,
Who 's quiet, inoffensive, silent, shy,
inoffensive - अनाक्रामक, सहृदय, हानि न पहुँचाने वाला
And will not toss and chatter the night through.
What say you, child?'"Dudu said nothing, as
Her talents were of the more silent class;
more silent - अधिक चुप
But she rose up, and kiss'd the matron's brow
Between the eyes, and Lolah on both cheeks,
Katinka, too; and with a gentle bow
(Curt'sies are neither used by Turks nor Greeks)
curt - रूखा, मुँहतोड उत्तर
She took Juanna by the hand to show
Their place of rest, and left to both their piques,

The others pouting at the matron's preference
Of Dudu, though they held their tongues from deference.

It was a spacious chamber (Oda is
The Turkish title), and ranged round the wall
Were couches, toilets"and much more than this
couches - छिपा रहना, चित लेटना
I might describe, as I have seen it all,
But it suffices"little was amiss;
suffices - पर्याप्त होना, काफ़ी होना
'Twas on the whole a nobly furnish'd hall,
With all things ladies want, save one or two,
And even those were nearer than they knew.
Dudu, as has been said, was a sweet creature,
Not very dashing, but extremely winning,
With the most regulated charms of feature,

Than are your mighty passions and so forth,
Which some call 'the sublime:'I wish they'd try it:
I've seen your stormy seas and stormy women,
stormy - प्रचण्ड, तूफ़ानी
And pity lovers rather more than seamen.
But she was pensive more than melancholy,
And serious more than pensive, and serene,
It may be, more than either"not unholy
unholy - पापी, खतरनाक, अपवित्र, अशुद्ध, बेकार
Her thoughts, at least till now, appear to have been.
The strangest thing was, beauteous, she was wholly
beauteous - सुंदर
Unconscious, albeit turn'd of quick seventeen,
That she was fair, or dark, or short, or tall;
She never thought about herself at all.
And therefore was she kind and gentle as
The Age of Gold (when gold was yet unknown,
By which its nomenclature came to pass;
Thus most appropriately has been shown
'Lucus a non lucendo,'not what was,
But what was not; a sort of style that 's grown
Extremely common in this age, whose metal
The devil may decompose, but never settle:
decompose - अपघटन, सड़ना, अपघटित हो जाना
settle - आराम करना
I think it may be of 'Corinthian Brass,'

With every kindness short of ostentation,
ostentation - दिखावा, आडंबर
Show'd Juan, or Juanna, through and through
This labyrinth of females, and each station
Described"what 's strange"in words extremely few:
I have but one simile, and that 's a blunder,
For wordless woman, which is silent thunder.
And next she gave her (I say her, because
The gender still was epicene, at least
gender - लिंग
epicene - पोंगा
In outward show, which is a saving clause)
An outline of the customs of the East,
outline - रूपरेखा, दर्शाना, खाका, सारांश, रूपरेखा आरेखित करना

And then she gave Juanna a chaste kiss:
Dudu was fond of kissing"which I'm sure
kissing - चूम्मा लेना, उड़ता चुम्बन करना, रसगुल्ला, सहलाना, चुम्मा
That nobody can ever take amiss,
Because 'tis pleasant, so that it be pure,

That they have nothing better near, or newer.
'Kiss'rhymes to 'bliss'in fact as well as verse"
I wish it never led to something worse.
In perfect innocence she then unmade
unmade - नष्ट करना
Her toilet, which cost little, for she was
A child of Nature, carelessly array'd:
If fond of a chance ogle at her glass,
ogle - कटाक्ष, आसक्तिपूर्ण ढंग से घूरना, दृष्टता से देखना
'Twas like the fawn, which, in the lake display'd,
Fawn - हिरणी का बच्चा, हिरनौटा
Beholds her own shy, shadowy image pass,
When first she starts, and then returns to peep,
peep - झांकना
Admiring this new native of the deep.
And one by one her articles of dress
Were laid aside; but not before she offer'd
Her aid to fair Juanna, whose excess
Of modesty declined the assistance proffer'd:
declined - घटना, गिरावट, कम होना, इनकार करना, मना करना, पतन, कम होना

In early youth, to turn a lady's maid;"
I did my very boyish best to shine
In tricking her out for a masquerade;
tricking - छलकाव, (trick) छलकाव
The pins were placed sufficiently, but not
Stuck all exactly in the proper spot.

And I love wisdom more than she loves me;
My tendency is to philosophise

At length she said, that in a slumber sound
She dream'd a dream, of walking in a wood"
A 'wood obscure,'like that where Dante found

Would make us think the moon is at its full.

Within these walls to be broke in upon

'Twas foolish, nervous, as she must allow,

hallucination - checkभ्रम
For laughter"but she felt her spirits low,
And begg'd they would excuse her; she'd get over
This weakness in a few hours, and recover.
recover - पुन्राप्त करना
And here Juanna kindly interposed,
And said she felt herself extremely well
Where she then was, as her sound sleep disclosed

To quit her gentle partner, and to dwell
Apart from one who had no sin to show,
Save that of dreaming once 'mal-a-propos.'

Which fable places in her breast of wail,

Of what had pass'd since all the slaves retired,
And whether he had occupied their station;
If matters had been managed as desired,
And his disguise with due consideration
consideration - ध्यान, विचार, मुआवजा, कारण, लिहाज़

(The aforesaid Baba) just then to do more,
Without exciting such suspicion as
Might make the matter still worse than it was.

Would not alone have made him insecure,

miscalculation - गलत अनुमान, गलत अनुमान, गलत हिसाब
Made all their naval matters incorrect;
incorrect - अनुचित, गलत, अशुद्ध
Three fireships lost their amiable existence
Before they reach'd a spot to take effect:
The match was lit too soon, and no assistance
Could remedy this lubberly defect;
lubberly - clumsy, stupid
defect - दोष, खोट
They blew up in the middle of the river,
While, though 'twas dawn, the Turks slept fast as ever.
At seven they rose, however, and survey'd
The Russ flotilla getting under way;
'Twas nine, when still advancing undismay'd,
Within a cable's length their vessels lay
cable - केबल
Off Ismail, and commenced a cannonade,
cannonade - firing of artillery
Which was return'd with interest, I may say,
And by a fire of musketry and grape,
musketry - बन्दक चालन कला, बंदूकधारी सेना, बंदूक कौशल, बंदूकधारी सेना
And shells and shot of every size and shape.
For six hours bore they without intermission
intermission - मध्यान्तर
The Turkish fire, and aided by their own
aided - सहायता, मदद, मदद करना, साधन, मदद करना
Land batteries, work'd their guns with great precision:
At length they found mere cannonade alone
By no means would produce the town's submission,
submission - जमा करना, आत्मसमर्पण, समर्पण, पेशी, प्रस्तुति, परवशता
And made a signal to retreat at one.

But when they saw the enemy retire,
Their Delhis mann'd some boats, and sail'd again,
And gall'd the Russians with a heavy fire,
And tried to make a landing on the main;
But here the effect fell short of their desire:
Count Damas drove them back into the water
Pell-mell, and with a whole gazette of slaughter.
mell - मेल
Gazette - गजेटियर, गैजेटियर, गैजेट
'If'(says the historian here) 'I could report
All that the Russians did upon this day,
I think that several volumes would fall short,
volumes - प्रबलता, घनफल, अंक, मात्रा, आयतन, तीव्रता, खंड, वल्यूम
And I should still have many things to say;'

fray - उघड़ना
The Prince de Ligne, and Langeron, and Damas,
ligne - लाइन
Names great as any that the roll of Fame has.
This being the case, may show us what Fame is:
For out of these three 'preux Chevaliers,'how
Chevaliers - वीर पुरुष/बहादुर
Many of common readers give a guess
That such existed? (and they may live now
For aught we know.) Renown 's all hit or miss;
There's fortune even in fame, we must allow.
'Tis true the Memoirs of the Prince de Ligne
Have half withdrawn from him oblivion's screen.
But here are men who fought in gallant actions
As gallantly as ever heroes fought,
gallantly - बहादुरी से, बहादुरी से
But buried in the heap of such transactions
Their names are rarely found, nor often sought.
Thus even good fame may suffer sad contractions,

And is extinguish'd sooner than she ought:
extinguish - नष्ट करना, बुझा देना, बुझा देना, बुझाना

A courier to the prince, and he succeeded
In ordering matters after his own bent;
I cannot tell the way in which he pleaded,
But shortly he had cause to be content.
In the mean time, the batteries proceeded,
And fourscore cannon on the Danube's border
Were briskly fired and answer'd in due order.
But on the thirteenth, when already part
thirteenth - तेरहवाँ भाग, तेरहवाँ
Of the troops were embark'd, the siege to raise,

Into all panters for newspaper praise,
As well as dilettanti in war's art,

Been one to which a good heart could be partial"

defence - रक्षा
But as it was mere lust of power to o'er-arch all
With its proud brow, it merits slight applause,

Had met a party towards the twilight's fall,
One of whom spoke their tongue"or well or ill,
'Twas much that he was understood at all;
But whether from his voice, or speech, or manner,
They found that he had fought beneath their banner.
Whereon immediately at his request
They brought him and his comrades to head-quarters;
Their dress was Moslem, but you might have guess'd
That these were merely masquerading Tartars,
And that beneath each Turkish-fashion'd vest
Lurk'd Christianity; which sometimes barters

Is neither man nor woman.'The chief threw on
The party a slight glance, then said, 'I have heard

O, glorious laurel! since for one sole leaf
Of thine imaginary deathless tree,
imaginary - कल्पनिक
deathless - बहुत खराब, बहुत खराब, अमर
Of blood and tears must flow the unebbing sea.
Suwarrow, who had small regard for tears,
And not much sympathy for blood, survey'd
The women with their hair about their ears
And natural agonies, with a slight shade
Of feeling: for however habit sears
Men's hearts against whole millions, when their trade
Is butchery, sometimes a single sorrow
butchery - कसाईखाना, बूचड़खाना
Will touch even heroes"and such was Suwarrow.

A thousand perils in this dubious shape.

To them, poor things, it is an awkward scrape.
I therefore, if you wish me to fight freely,
Request that they may both be used genteelly.'

Meantime these two poor girls, with swimming eyes,
Look'd on as if in doubt if they could trust
Their own protectors; nor was their surprise

Stript to his waistcoat, and that not too clean,
waistcoat - वास्कट
More fear'd than all the sultans ever seen.
For every thing seem'd resting on his nod,

To see the sultan, rich in many a gem,
Like an imperial peacock stalk abroad
peacock - मोर, मयूर
(That royal bird, whose tail 's a diadem),

Or that the Russian army should repent all:
repent - पछताना
And, strange to say, they found some consolation
In this"for females like exaggeration.
exaggeration - अतिशयोक्ति
And then with tears, and sighs, and some slight kisses,
They parted for the present"these to await,

Yet for all this he did not run away.
Indeed he could not. But what if he had?

With something not much better, or as bad:

And afterward, if he must needs destroy,
afterward - बाद में, बाद में
In such good company as always throng
To battles, sieges, and that kind of pleasure,
sieges - अवरोध, घेराबंदी

By one of those odd turns of Fortune's tides,

Was on a sudden rather puzzled here,
When, after a good deal of heavy firing,
He found himself alone, and friends retiring.
I don't know how the thing occurr'd"it might
Be that the greater part were kill'd or wounded,
And that the rest had faced unto the right
About; a circumstance which has confounded
Caesar himself, who, in the very sight
Of his whole army, which so much abounded
abounded - फटा पड़ना, बहुतायात से होना, बहुत फैला होना, बहुत होना
In courage, was obliged to snatch a shield,
And rally back his Romans to the field.
Juan, who had no shield to snatch, and was
No Caesar, but a fine young lad, who fought
He knew not why, arriving at this pass,
Stopp'd for a minute, as perhaps he ought
For a much longer time; then, like an as
(Start not, kind reader; since great Homer thought
This simile enough for Ajax, Juan
Perhaps may find it better than a new one)"
Then, like an ass, he went upon his way,
And, what was stranger, never look'd behind;
But seeing, flashing forward, like the day
Over the hills, a fire enough to blind
Those who dislike to look upon a fray,
He stumbled on, to try if he could find
A path, to add his own slight arm and forces
forces - बल, गुण, दल, विवश करना, शक्ति, शक्ति प्रयोग करना, लागू होना
To corps, the greater part of which were corses.
Perceiving then no more the commandant
Of his own corps, nor even the corps, which had
Quite disappear'd"the gods know howl (I can't
Account for every thing which may look bad
In history; but we at least may grant
It was not marvellous that a mere lad,
marvellous - शानदार, चमत्कार, आश्चर्यजनक, चमत्कारी, अद्भुत
In search of glory, should look on before,
Nor care a pinch of snuff about his corps):"
Perceiving nor commander nor commanded,
commanded - पाना, प्राप्त करना, देना, संकेत, आदेश देना, आदेश देना, शासन
And left at large, like a young heir, to make
His way to"where he knew not"single handed;

So Juan, following honour and his nose,
Rush'd where the thickest fire announced most foes.
He knew not where he was, nor greatly cared,
For he was dizzy, busy, and his veins
Fill'd as with lightning"for his spirit shared
The hour, as is the case with lively brains;
And where the hottest fire was seen and heard,
And the loud cannon peal'd his hoarsest strains,
hoarsest - कर्कश, भर्राआ
He rush'd, while earth and air were sadly shaken
By thy humane discovery, Friar Bacon!
And as he rush'd along, it came to pass he
Fell in with what was late the second column,
Under the orders of the General Lascy,
But now reduced, as is a bulky volume
bulky - भारी भरकम, बड़ा/2.स्थूल
Into an elegant extract (much less massy)
elegant - सुन्दर, सहज, सुरुचिपूर्ण
Of heroism, and took his place with solemn
heroism - शौर्य, बहादुरी
Air 'midst the rest, who kept their valiant faces
And levell'd weapons still against the glacis.

Just at this crisis up came Johnson too,
Who had 'retreated,'as the phrase is when
retreated - गिरना, पीछे हटना, भागना, कम होना, चला जाना, आश्रयस्थल, वापसी
Men run away much rather than go through
Destruction's jaws into the devil's den;
But Johnson was a clever fellow, who
Knew when and how 'to cut and come again,'
And never ran away, except when running
Was nothing but a valorous kind of cunning.
And so, when all his corps were dead or dying,
Except Don Juan, a mere novice, whose
More virgin valour never dreamt of flying
From ignorance of danger, which indues
Its votaries, like innocence relying
relying - निर्भर होना, निर्भर करना, विश्वास करना
On its own strength, with careless nerves and thews,"
nerves - बल, नस, शक्ति, रोग, साहस, हिम्मत जुटाना, धैर्य, आत्मविशवास

Those who catch cold in 'shadows of Death's valley.'
And there, a little shelter'd from the shot,

Which rain'd from bastion, battery, parapet,

Rampart, wall, casement, house,"for there was not
casement - फ़रमेदार खिड़की, फ़रमेदार खिड़की
In this extensive city, sore beset
beset - टूट पड़ना
By Christian soldiery, a single spot
soldiery - सेना, सैनिक दल
Which did not combat like the devil, as yet,
He found a number of Chasseurs, all scatter'd
By the resistance of the chase they batter'd.
And these he call'd on; and, what 's strange, they came
Unto his call, unlike 'the spirits from
The vasty deep,'to whom you may exclaim,
Says Hotspur, long ere they will leave their home.
Their reasons were uncertainty, or shame
At shrinking from a bullet or a bomb,
And that odd impulse, which in wars or creeds
creeds - धर्म, धर्म मत/स्वीकृत मत
Makes men, like cattle, follow him who leads.
By Jove! he was a noble fellow, Johnson,
And though his name, than Ajax or Achilles,
Sounds less harmonious, underneath the sun soon
harmonious - सुरीला
We shall not see his likeness: he could kill his
Man quite as quietly as blows the monsoon
monsoon - मानसून
Her steady breath (which some months the same still is):
Seldom he varied feature, hue, or muscle,
muscle - पेशी
And could be very busy without bustle;
And therefore, when he ran away, he did so
Upon reflection, knowing that behind
He would find others who would fain be rid so
Of idle apprehensions, which like wind
apprehensions - डर, भय, समझ, आशंका, गिरफ्तारी
Trouble heroic stomachs. Though their lids so
lids - रोकना, ढक्कन, रूकावट, आच्छद, आच्छादन, ढकना
Oft are soon closed, all heroes are not blind,
But when they light upon immediate death,
immediate - ठीक
Retire a little, merely to take breath.
But Johnson only ran off, to return
With many other warriors, as we said,
Unto that rather somewhat misty bourn,
misty - कोहरे से आच्छादित, कोहरे से आच्छादित, धुंध से भरा हुआ, धुँधला
bourn - छोर/किनारा/सीमा
Which Hamlet tells us is a pass of dread.
hamlet - हम्लेट
To Jack howe'er this gave but slight concern:
His soul (like galvanism upon the dead)
Acted upon the living as on wire,
wire - तार
And led them back into the heaviest fire.
Egad! they found the second time what they
egad - अहाँ बेशक!
The first time thought quite terrible enough
To fly from, malgre all which people say
Of glory, and all that immortal stuff
Which fills a regiment (besides their pay,
That daily shilling which makes warriors tough)"
They found on their return the self-same welcome,
Which made some think, and others know, a hell come.
They fell as thick as harvests beneath hail,
harvests - फसल कटाई का समय, फसल, फसल एकत्र करना, फसल एकत्र करना, शस्य
Grass before scythes, or corn below the sickle,

Or a good boxer, into a sad pickle

However, Heaven knows how, the Fate who levels
Towns, nations, worlds, in her revolving pranks,

So order'd it, amidst these sulphury revels,

Came mounting quickly up, for it was now
All neck or nothing, as, like pitch or rosin,
rosin - गंधराल, राल, रोज़िन डामर लगाना, रोज़िन डामर, गंधराल लगाना
Flame was shower'd forth above, as well 's below,
So that you scarce could say who best had chosen,
The gentlemen that were the first to show
Their martial faces on the parapet,
Or those who thought it brave to wait as yet.
But those who scaled, found out that their advance
scaled - परत, मान, पलड़ा, स्तर, छिलका, पैमाना, माप, अनुपात, मानदण्ड
Was favour'd by an accident or blunder:
The Greek or Turkish Cohorn's ignorance
Cohorn - कोहॉर्न
Had palisado'd in a way you'd wonder
palisado - पैलिसेडो
To see in forts of Netherlands or France
forts - किला, गढ़
Netherlands - नीदरलैंड्स
(Though these to our Gibraltar must knock under)"
Gibraltar - जिब्राल्टर
Right in the middle of the parapet
Just named, these palisades were primly set:
primly - औपचारिक ढंग से, अतिनैतिकतापूर्ण ढंग से
So that on either side some nine or ten
Paces were left, whereon you could contrive
paces - की अनुमति से, कदम, प्रगति, गति, धीरे धीरे चलना, प्रगति करना
To march; a great convenience to our men,
convenience - सुविधा
At least to all those who were left alive,

And that which farther aided them to strive
Was, that they could kick down the palisades,
Which scarcely rose much higher than grass blades.

Among the first,"I will not say the first,

Will oftentimes make deadly quarrels burst
Out between friends as well as allied nations:
The Briton must be bold who really durst

Put to such trial John Bull's partial patience,
As say that Wellington at Waterloo
Wellington - वेलिंग्टन
Was beaten"though the Prussians say so too;"
And that if Blucher, Bulow, Gneisenau,
Blucher - sturdy laced leather half-boot
And God knows who besides in 'au'and 'ow,'

Had not come up in time to cast an awe
Into the hearts of those who fought till now
As tigers combat with an empty craw,
tigers - शेर, बाघ, बाघ का बच्चा, चटोरा

The Duke of Wellington had ceased to show
His orders, also to receive his pensions,
Which are the heaviest that our history mentions.

At first it grumbles, then it swears, and then,
grumbles - शिकायत, गरजना, शिकायत करना, गड़गड़ाहट, शिकायत करना, भुनभुनाना
Like David, flings smooth pebbles 'gainst a giant;
At last it takes to weapons such as men

pliant - दब्बू, लचीला, आसानी से वश में आने वाला
Then comes 'the tug of war;'"'twill come again,

If I had not perceived that revolution

Alone can save the earth from hell's pollution.
But to continue:"I say not the first,
But of the first, our little friend Don Juan
Walk'd o'er the walls of Ismail, as if nursed
Amidst such scenes"though this was quite a new one
To him, and I should hope to most. The thirst
Of glory, which so pierces through and through one,
Pervaded him"although a generous creature,
pervaded - व्याप्त होना, में व्याप्त होना
generous - बहुत, उदारता, तीक्ष्ण, दयालु, उपजाऊ, उदार, प्रचुर, दाता, अव्यथ
As warm in heart as feminine in feature.
And here he was"who upon woman's breast,
Even from a child, felt like a child; howe'er
The man in all the rest might be confest,
To him it was Elysium to be there;
elysium -
And he could even withstand that awkward test
Which Rousseau points out to the dubious fair,
'Observe your lover when he leaves your arms;'
observe - अनुपालन करना, कहना, देखना, निरखना
But Juan never left them, while they had charms,
Unless compell'd by fate, or wave, or wind,
Or near relations, who are much the same.
But here he was!"where each tie that can bind
Humanity must yield to steel and flame:
And he whose very body was all mind,
Flung here by fate or circumstance, which tame
The loftiest, hurried by the time and place,
Dash'd on like a spurr'd blood-horse in a race.
So was his blood stirr'd while he found resistance,
As is the hunter's at the five-bar gate,
Hunter - शिकारी, खोजी
Or double post and rail, where the existence
Of Britain's youth depends upon their weight,
The lightest being the safest: at a distance
He hated cruelty, as all men hate

Blood, until heated"and even then his own
At times would curdle o'er some heavy groan.
curdle - दही जमाना, जमा देना, दही जमना, दही जमना

Seeing arrive an aid so opportune
As were some hundred youngsters all abreast,

To Juan, who was nearest him, address'd
His thanks, and hopes to take the city soon,
Not reckoning him to be a 'base Bezonian'
reckoning - गणना, अनुमान, हिसाब, कर्मों का फल बुगतन्त् का समय
(As Pistol calls it), but a young Livonian.
Livonian - language, person, pertaining to Livonia or Livonians
Juan, to whom he spoke in German, knew
German - जरमन, जर्मन
As much of German as of Sanscrit, and
In answer made an inclination to

For seeing one with ribands, black and blue,
Stars, medals, and a bloody sword in hand,
Addressing him in tones which seem'd to thank,
tones - स्वराघात, ध्वनि, सरगम के दो सुरों का अंतराल, रंग, स्वास्थ्य
He recognised an officer of rank.
recognised - स्वीकार करना, पहचानना, पता लगाना, मानना, सम्मान करना

Of war and taking towns, when many a shriek
Rings o'er the dialogue, and many a crime
Is perpetrated ere a word can break
perpetrated - करना, पाप या दोष करना, रसहीन ढंग से प्रस्तुत करना
Upon the ear, and sounds of horror chime
In like church-bells, with sigh, howl, groan, yell, prayer,
There cannot be much conversation there.
And therefore all we have related in
Two long octaves, pass'd in a little minute;
octaves - सूरसप्तक की श्रुटि, सप्तक, अष्टाह, अष्टपदी
But in the same small minute, every sin
Contrived to get itself comprised within it.
The very cannon, deafen'd by the din,

Grew dumb, for you might almost hear a linnet,
linnet - लिनेट पक्षी, लिनेट पक्षी
As soon as thunder, 'midst the general noise
Of human nature's agonising voice!
agonising - बहुत ही चिंतित रहना
The town was enter'd. Oh eternity!-

Rome, Babylon, Tyre, Carthage, Nineveh,
Babylon - बाबिल, बाबुल
tyre - पहिया, टायर
Carthage - कार्थेज
Nineveh - capital of Assyria
All walls men know, and many never known;
And pondering on the present and the past,
To deem the woods shall be our home at last
Of all men, saving Sylla the man-slayer,

Who passes for in life and death most lucky,
Of the great names which in our faces stare,
The General Boon, back-woodsman of Kentucky,

'Tis true he shrank from men even of his nation,
When they built up unto his darling trees,"
He moved some hundred miles off, for a station
Where there were fewer houses and more ease;
The inconvenience of civilisation
inconvenience - कष्ट देना, कष्ट देना, असुविधा, असुविधाजनक कार्य
Is, that you neither can be pleased nor please;
But where he met the individual man,
He show'd himself as kind as mortal can.
He was not all alone: around him grew
A sylvan tribe of children of the chase,

Whose young, unwaken'd world was ever new,
Nor sword nor sorrow yet had left a trace
On her unwrinkled brow, nor could you view
unwrinkled - बिना झुर्री का, बिना शिकन का
A frown on Nature's or on human face;
The free-born forest found and kept them free,

Beyond the dwarfing city's pale abortions,
dwarfing - नाटा, बौना, बौना कर देना, बौना कर देना

With the free foresters divide no spoil;
foresters - वन रक्षक, वनपाल

(With some assistance from the frost and snow)
frost - पाला, केक को चीनी के बुरादे से सजाना, आइसिंग करना
Napoleon on his bold and bloody track,

His jest alike in face of friend or foe,
Though life, and death, and victory were at stake;
stake - दाँव पर लगाना, सहारा देना, बाजी की रकम, बाजी की रकम
But here it seem'd his jokes had ceased to take:
For having thrown himself into a ditch,
Follow'd in haste by various grenadiers,
Whose blood the puddle greatly did enrich,
puddle - पोखर, डबरा, डाबर
He climb'd to where the parapet appears;
But there his project reach'd its utmost pitch
('Mongst other deaths the General Ribaupierre's
Was much regretted), for the Moslem men
regretted - दुःखी होना, खेद होना, पश्चाताप करना, पछताना, खेद प्रकट करना
Threw them all down into the ditch again.
And had it not been for some stray troops landing
They knew not where, being carried by the stream
To some spot, where they lost their understanding,
And wander'd up and down as in a dream,
Until they reach'd, as daybreak was expanding,
That which a portal to their eyes did seem,"
The great and gay Koutousow might have lain
Where three parts of his column yet remain.
And scrambling round the rampart, these same troops,
After the taking of the 'Cavalier,'
Just as Koutousow's most 'forlorn'of 'hopes'
Took like chameleons some slight tinge of fear,
chameleons - गिर्गिट, गिरगिट, अस्थिरमत व्यक्ति, अस्थिरमत व्यक्ति
Open'd the gate call'd 'Kilia,'to the groups

Their column, though the Turkish batteries thunder'd
Upon them, ne'ertheless had reach'd the rampart,
And naturally thought they could have plunder'd
The city, without being farther hamper'd;
But as it happens to brave men, they blunder'd"
The Turks at first pretended to have scamper'd,
pretended - दावा करना, अभिनय करना, मान लेना, बहाना करना, दीखावा करना
Only to draw them 'twixt two bastion corners,
From whence they sallied on those Christian scorners.

Then being taken by the tail"a taking
Fatal to bishops as to soldiers"these
Cossacques were all cut off as day was breaking,
And found their lives were let at a short lease"
But perish'd without shivering or shaking,
Leaving as ladders their heap'd carcasses,
O'er which Lieutenant-Colonel Yesouskoi
lieutenant - सहायक, लेफ्टिनेंट
Colonel - कर्नल
March'd with the brave battalion of Polouzki:"
battalion - बटालियन
This valiant man kill'd all the Turks he met,
But could not eat them, being in his turn
Slain by some Mussulmans, who would not yet,
Without resistance, see their city burn.
The walls were won, but 'twas an even bet
Which of the armies would have cause to mourn:
'Twas blow for blow, disputing inch by inch,
disputing - विवाद करना, झगड़ना, झगड़ा, प्रतिवाद करना, तर्क वितर्क करना
inch - एक फुट का 12 वां भाग, इंच
For one would not retreat, nor t'other flinch.

Another column also suffer'd much:"
And here we may remark with the historian,
You should but give few cartridges to such
cartridges - कारतूस, कार्ट्रिज, कारतुस
Troops as are meant to march with greatest glory on:
When matters must be carried by the touch
Of the bright bayonet, and they all should hurry on,
They sometimes, with a hankering for existence,
hankering - सितारा मछली, ललक, (hanker)
Keep merely firing at a foolish distance.
firing at - शूटिंग कर रहा है
A junction of the General Meknop's men
(Without the General, who had fallen some time
Before, being badly seconded just then)
Was made at length with those who dared to climb
The death-disgorging rampart once again;
disgorging - भारी मात्रा में बहाना
And though the Turk's resistance was sublime,
They took the bastion, which the Seraskier
Seraskier - सेरास्कियर
Defended at a price extremely dear.
defended - चलाना, बचाना, प्रतिवाद करना, समर्थन करना, रक्षा करना
Juan and Johnson, and some volunteers,
Among the foremost, offer'd him good quarter,
A word which little suits with Seraskiers,
Or at least suited not this valiant Tartar.
He died, deserving well his country's tears,
A savage sort of military martyr.
An English naval officer, who wish'd
naval officer - नौसेना अधिकारी
To make him prisoner, was also dish'd:
For all the answer to his proposition
Was from a pistol-shot that laid him dead;
On which the rest, without more intermission,
Began to lay about with steel and lead"
The pious metals most in requisition
On such occasions: not a single head
Was spared;"three thousand Moslems perish'd here,
spared - तकरार करना, अधात्विक खनिज, मस्तूल, मुक्केबाजी का अभ्यास, स्पार
Moslems - मुस्लिम, मुसलमान
And sixteen bayonets pierced the Seraskier.
The city 's taken"only part by part"
And death is drunk with gore: there's not a street
Where fights not to the last some desperate heart
For those for whom it soon shall cease to beat.
Here War forgot his own destructive art
destructive - हानिकर, हानिकारक, विध्वंशकारी, भंजक

Engender'd monstrous shapes of every crime.

writhed - कराहना, कसमसाना, तरपना
And howl'd for help as wolves do for a meal"
The teeth still kept their gratifying hold,

A dying Moslem, who had felt the foot
Of a foe o'er him, snatch'd at it, and bit
The very tendon which is most acute
tendon - स्नायु, नस
most acute - सबसे तीव्र
(That which some ancient Muse or modern wit
Named after thee, Achilles), and quite through 't
He made the teeth meet, nor relinquish'd it
Even with his life"for (but they lie) 'tis said
To the live leg still clung the sever'd head.
sever - पूर्णतया संबंध विच्छेद कर लेना, कट कर अलग हो जाना, काटना
However this may be, 'tis pretty sure
The Russian officer for life was lamed,
lamed - लेम्ड, (lam) लेम्ड

skewer - सीख, (skew) सीख
And left him 'midst the invalid and maim'd:
invalid - अविधिमान्य, अमान्य
maim - अपंग बनना, अपंग कर देना, अपंग कर देना
The regimental surgeon could not cure
regimental - रेजिमेंट का, पलटन या रेज़िमेण्ट सम्बन्धी
His patient, and perhaps was to be blamed
blamed - आरोप, दोष, दोष लगाना, कटु आलोचना करना, निंदा करना, उत्तरदायित्व
More than the head of the inveterate foe,
inveterate - पुराना, अभ्यस्त, पक्का, निरन्तर[बुरी आदतें]
Which was cut off, and scarce even then let go.
But then the fact 's a fact"and 'tis the part

Of truth than prose, unless to suit the mart
For what is sometimes called poetic diction,

And groans; and thus the peopled city grieves,

Of these ambrosial, Pharisaic times,
With all their pretty milk-and-water ways,
And may serve therefore to bedew these rhymes,
A little scorch'd at present with the blaze
Of conquest and its consequences, which
Make epic poesy so rare and rich.
Upon a taken bastion, where there lay
Thousands of slaughter'd men, a yet warm group
Of murder'd women, who had found their way
To this vain refuge, made the good heart droop
And shudder;"while, as beautiful as May,
A female child of ten years tried to stoop
And hide her little palpitating breast

All arts to teach their subjects to destroy?

Whence her fair hair rose twining with affright,

Her hidden face was plunged amidst the dead:
When Juan caught a glimpse of this sad sight,
I shall not say exactly what he said,
Because it might not solace 'ears polite;'
But what he did, was to lay on their backs,
The readiest way of reasoning with Cossacques.
One's hip he slash'd, and split the other's shoulder,

As he turn'd o'er each pale and gory cheek,
Don Juan raised his little captive from
The heap a moment more had made her tomb.
And she was chill as they, and on her face
A slender streak of blood announced how near
Her fate had been to that of all her race;
For the same blow which laid her mother here
Had scarr'd her brow, and left its crimson trace,
As the last link with all she had held dear;
But else unhurt, she open'd her large eyes,
unhurt - अक्षत, सकुशल, सही सलामत
And gazed on Juan with a wild surprise.
Just at this instant, while their eyes were fix'd
Upon each other, with dilated glance,
In Juan's look, pain, pleasure, hope, fear, mix'd
With joy to save, and dread of some mischance
mischance - बदकिस्मती
Unto his protege; while hers, transfix'd

Of safety, where she less may shrink and grieve,

Poor thing! what 's to be done? I'm puzzled quite.'

Done, I'll not quit her till she seems secure
Of present life a good deal more than we.'
Quoth Johnson: 'Neither will I quite ensure;
But at the least you may die gloriously.'
gloriously - शानदारी से
Juan replied: 'At least I will endure
Whate'er is to be borne"but not resign
This child, who is parentless, and therefore mine.'

Johnson said: 'Juan, we've no time to lose;
The child 's a pretty child"a very pretty"
I never saw such eyes"but hark! now choose
Between your fame and feelings, pride and pity;"

Will serve when there is plunder in a city;"
I should be loth to march without you, but,

By God! we'll be too late for the first cut.'

But Juan was immovable; until

deliver - पहुंचाना
They should at least have fifty rubles round,
rubles - रूबल
And all allowances besides of plunder

In fair proportion with their comrades;"then
Juan consented to march on through thunder,

For they were heated by the hope of gain,
A thing which happens everywhere each day"
No hero trusteth wholly to half pay.
And such is victory, and such is man!
At least nine tenths of what we call so;"God
tenths - दसवाँ, दसवाँ भाग
May have another name for half we scan
As human beings, or his ways are odd.
But to our subject: a brave Tartar khan"
Or 'sultan,'as the author (to whose nod
In prose I bend my humble verse) doth call
This chieftain"somehow would not yield at all:

And all around were grown exceeding wroth
At such a pertinacious infidel,
pertinacious - दृढ प्रतिज्ञ, ज़िद्दी

As ever Mahomet pick'd out for a martyr,
Who only saw the black-eyed girls in green,
Who make the beds of those who won't take quarter
On earth, in Paradise; and when once seen,
Those houris, like all other pretty creatures,
houris - अप्सरा
Do just whate'er they please, by dint of features.
And what they pleased to do with the young khan
In heaven I know not, nor pretend to guess;

A field of battle's ghastly wilderness,

That when the very lance was in his heart,
lance - भाला, चीरना, चीरना/घोंपकर बाहर निकलना, बल्लम, तोमर

And felt"though done with life"he was alone
But 'twas a transient tremor;"with a spring
transient - अस्थिर, क्षणिक, चलायमान, अनित्य, अस्थायी, नश्वर, लोपनीय

Unto the bayonets which had pierced his young;
And throwing back a dim look on his sons,
throwing back - वापस फेंकना
In one wide wound pour'd forth his soul at once.

Were almost as much virgins as before.
Some odd mistakes, too, happen'd in the dark,
Which show'd a want of lanterns, or of taste"
lanterns - लालटेन
Indeed the smoke was such they scarce could mark

metaphysical - अभौतिक, सैद्धांतिक, तत्वमीमांसा संबंधी
'The time is out of joint,'"and so am I;
I quite forget this poem 's merely quizzical,
quizzical - प्रश्नात्मक, दिल्लगी भरा, मुस्कान भरा{प्रश्नसहित}, दिल्लगी भरा
And deviate into matters rather dry.
deviate - मार्ग से अलग होना, पथभ्रष्ट, विकृत व्यक्ति, विकृत व्यक्ति
I ne'er decide what I shall say, and this I cal
Much too poetical: men should know why
They write, and for what end; but, note or text,
I never know the word which will come next.
So on I ramble, now and then narrating,
ramble - भ्रमण, बेसिर पैर की बातें करना, घूमना, सैर, सैर करना
Now pondering:"it is time we should narrate.
narrate - सुनाना, बयान करना, वर्णन करना
I left Don Juan with his horses baiting"
baiting - बेचना, (bait) बेचना
Now we'll get o'er the ground at a great rate.
I shall not be particular in stating
His journey, we've so many tours of late:
Suppose him then at Petersburgh; suppose
That pleasant capital of painted snows;
Suppose him in a handsome uniform,"
A scarlet coat, black facings, a long plume,
facings - सामना, अस्तर, कलर और कफ़, पलस्तर, कलर और कफ़
plume - पर
Waving, like sails new shiver'd in a storm,
Over a cock'd hat in a crowded room,
And brilliant breeches, bright as a Cairn Gorme,
cairn - monument, landmark
Of yellow casimere we may presume,
casimere - कैसिमेर
White stocking drawn uncurdled as new milk
O'er limbs whose symmetry set off the silk;
symmetry - सममिति
Suppose him sword by side, and hat in hand,
Made up by youth, fame, and an army tailor"
That great enchanter, at whose rod's command
Beauty springs forth, and Nature's self turns paler,
paler - मित्र
Seeing how Art can make her work more grand
(When she don't pin men's limbs in like a gaoler),"
pin - कील, छेदना, भरोसा करना, विश्वास करना, पिन, पैर, नत्थी करना

His wings subdued to epaulettes; his quiver

quiver - कांपना
Shrunk to a scabbard, with his arrows at
scabbard - मियान, म्यान
arrows - तीर, शर, ` > चिह्न, तीर/बाण/शर, वाण के आकार का चिन्ह
His side as a small sword, but sharp as ever;
His bow converted into a cock'd hat;
converted - बदलना, गोल करके (एक प्रयत्न को) पूरा करना, परिवर्तित होना
But still so like, that Psyche were more clever
more clever - अधिक चतुर
Than some wives (who make blunders no less stupid),
blunders - चूक/भारी भूल
If she had not mistaken him for Cupid.
The courtiers stared, the ladies whisper'd, and
courtiers - दरबारी
The empress smiled: the reigning favourite frown'd"
I quite forget which of them was in hand
Just then; as they are rather numerous found,
Who took by turns that difficult command
Since first her majesty was singly crown'd:
singly - एक एक करके, अलग अलग, अकेले ही/एकशः
But they were mostly nervous six-foot fellows,
All fit to make a Patagonian jealous.
Juan was none of these, but slight and slim,
slim - पतला
Blushing and beardless; and yet ne'ertheless
There was a something in his turn of limb,
And still more in his eye, which seem'd to express,
That though he look'd one of the seraphim,
seraphim - plural of seraph
There lurk'd a man beneath the spirit's dress.
Besides, the empress sometimes liked a boy,
And had just buried the fair-faced Lanskoi.
No wonder then that Yermoloff, or Momonoff,
Or Scherbatoff, or any other off
Or on, might dread her majesty had not room enough
Within her bosom (which was not too tough)
For a new flame; a thought to cast of gloom enough
Along the aspect, whether smooth or rough,
Of him who, in the language of his station,
Then held that 'high official situation.'
high official - उच्च अधिकारी
O, gentle ladies! should you seek to know
The import of this diplomatic phrase,
Bid Ireland's Londonderry's Marquess show
Marquess - title of nobility
His parts of speech; and in the strange displays
Of that odd string of words, all in a row,
Which none divine, and every one obeys,
obeys - पालन करना, निभाना, कहना मानना, आज्ञापालन करना, कहना मानना
Perhaps you may pick out some queer no meaning,
Of that weak wordy harvest the sole gleaning.

I think I can explain myself without
That sad inexplicable beast of prey"
inexplicable - दुरूह, व्याख्या न करने योग्य, अव्याख्येय

spout - धारा, नल, टोंटी, फुहारा छोड़ना, फुहारे की भाँति छूटना
Of blood and water, leaden Castlereagh!

And here I must an anecdote relate,
anecdote - लघुकथा, किस्सा, दंतकथा, उप्पख्यान
But luckily of no great length or weight.
An English lady ask'd of an Italian,
What were the actual and official duties
official duties - आधिकारिक कार्यों
Of the strange thing some women set a value on,
value - मूल्य, क़ीमत, क़द्र
Which hovers oft about some married beauties,
Called 'Cavalier servente?'"a Pygmalion
Whose statues warm (I fear, alas! too true 'tis)
Beneath his art. The dame, press'd to disclose them,
Said"'Lady, I beseech you to suppose them.'
And thus I supplicate your supposition,
supplicate - विनती करना, प्रार्थना करना, मिन्नत करना, याचना करना
And mildest, matron-like interpretation,
interpretation - तफसीर
Of the imperial favourite's condition.
'Twas a high place, the highest in the nation
In fact, if not in rank; and the suspicion
Of any one's attaining to his station,
No doubt gave pain, where each new pair of shoulders,
If rather broad, made stocks rise and their holders.
stocks - प्रतिष्ठा, लगाना, नाम, रखना, टिकठी, पूँज़ी, स्टक, सामान्य, पशुधन
holders - धारक, होल्डर
Juan, I said, was a most beauteous boy,
And had retain'd his boyish look beyond
The usual hirsute seasons which destroy,
hirsute - रोंयेंदार बालदार, रोयेंदार
With beards and whiskers, and the like, the fond
beards - खुलेआम विरोध करना, दाढी नोचना, गलमुच्छ
whiskers - गलमुच्छा, मूँछ
Parisian aspect which upset old Troy
Parisian - पैरिसवासी, पेरिसवासी, पेरिस का
And founded Doctors'Commons:"I have conn'd

Conn - to direct a ship
The history of divorces, which, though chequer'd,
divorces - पार्थक्य, अलग करना, विवाह विच्छेद, अलग करना, तलाक, पृथक करना
chequer - खज़ाना
Calls Ilion's the first damages on record.
And Catherine, who loved all things (save her lord,
Who was gone to his place), and pass'd for much
Admiring those (by dainty dames abhorr'd)
Gigantic gentlemen, yet had a touch
Of sentiment; and he she most adored
Was the lamented Lanskoi, who was such
A lover as had cost her many a tear,
And yet but made a middling grenadier.
grenadier - हथगोला फेंकने वाला सैनिक, हथगोला फेंकने वाला सैनिक
O thou 'teterrima causa'of all 'belli'-
causa - कारण
Thou gate of life and death"thou nondescript!
nondescript - साधारण
Whence is our exit and our entrance,"well I
exit - गमन
May pause in pondering how all souls are dipt
In thy perennial fountain:"how man fell I
perennial - सदाबहार, शाश्वत, चिरस्थायी, स्थायी, सदाबहार वृक्ष
Know not, since knowledge saw her branches stript
Of her first fruit; but how he falls and rises
Since, thou hast settled beyond all surmises.
surmises - लगना, अनुमान, अंदाज़ा लगाना, अंदाज़ा, अंदाज़ लगाना
Some call thee 'the worst cause of war,'but I
Maintain thou art the best: for after all
From thee we come, to thee we go, and why
To get at thee not batter down a wall,
Or waste a world? since no one can deny
deny - अस्वीकार करना
Thou dost replenish worlds both great and small:
replenish - फिर से भरना, पूर्ति{ईधन की}
With, or without thee, all things at a stand
Are, or would be, thou sea of life's dry land!
Catherine, who was the grand epitome
epitome - प्रतिमान, सारांश, साक्षात् उदाहरण, साक्षात् उदाहरण
Of that great cause of war, or peace, or what
You please (it causes all the things which be,
So you may take your choice of this or that)"
Catherine, I say, was very glad to see
The handsome herald, on whose plumage sat
Herald - मुनादी करने वाला
Victory; and pausing as she saw him kneel
With his despatch, forgot to break the seal.
Then recollecting the whole empress, nor
recollecting - याद करना, स्मरण करना
forgetting quite the woman (which composed
composed - लिखना, बनाना, शान्त करना, रचना, धैर्य धारण करना
At least three parts of this great whole), she tore
The letter open with an air which posed
posed - दिखावा, दावा करना, प्रस्तुत करना, मुद्रा, छल कपट, ढंग
The court, that watch'd each look her visage wore,
Until a royal smile at length disclosed
Fair weather for the day. Though rather spacious,
Her face was noble, her eyes fine, mouth gracious.
gracious - आरामदेह, रमणीय, दयालु, दयामय
Great joy was hers, or rather joys: the first
Was a ta'en city, thirty thousand slain.
Glory and triumph o'er her aspect burst,
As an East Indian sunrise on the main.
These quench'd a moment her ambition's thirst"
So Arab deserts drink in summer's rain:
In vain!"As fall the dews on quenchless sands,
quenchless - अनमोल
Blood only serves to wash Ambition's hands!
Her next amusement was more fanciful;
fanciful - विलक्षण, मौजी, काल्पनिक
She smiled at mad Suwarrow's rhymes, who threw
Into a Russian couplet rather dull
The whole gazette of thousands whom he slew.
Her third was feminine enough to annul
The shudder which runs naturally through
Our veins, when things call'd sovereigns think it best
To kill, and generals turn it into jest.
The two first feelings ran their course complete,
And lighted first her eye, and then her mouth:
The whole court look'd immediately most sweet,
Like flowers well water'd after a long drouth.
drouth - ड्राउथ
But when on the lieutenant at her feet
Her majesty, who liked to gaze on youth
Almost as much as on a new despatch,
Glanced mildly, all the world was on the watch.
mildly - नम्रतापूर्वक, थोड़ा बहुत, नम्रता पूर्वक
Though somewhat large, exuberant, and truculent,
exuberant - अधिक, प्रचुर, उल्लासपूर्ण
truculent - उग्र, लडाका
When wroth"while pleased, she was as fine a figure
As those who like things rosy, ripe, and succulent,
succulent - रसीला, गूदेदार पादप
Would wish to look on, while they are in vigour.
She could repay each amatory look you lent
repay - चुका देना, लौटाना, मुआवजा चुकाना
With interest, and in turn was wont with rigour
To exact of Cupid's bills the full amount
at sight, nor would permit you to discount.
at sight - दृष्टि पर
permit - अनुमति देना
With her the latter, though at times convenient,
Was not so necessary; for they tell
That she was handsome, and though fierce look'd lenient,
lenient - नरम
And always used her favourites too well.
If once beyond her boudoir's precincts in ye went,
Your 'fortune'was in a fair way 'to swell
A man'(as Giles says); for though she would widow all
Giles - male given name
Nations, she liked man as an individual.
What a strange thing is man? and what a stranger
Is woman! What a whirlwind is her head,
whirlwind - बवंडर, चक्रवात
And what a whirlpool full of depth and danger
whirlpool - जलघुमर
Is all the rest about her! Whether wed
Or widow, maid or mother, she can change her
Mind like the wind: whatever she has said
Or done, is light to what she'll say or do;"
The oldest thing on record, and yet new!
O Catherine! (for of all interjections,
interjections - हस्तक्षेप, विस्मयादिबोधक
To thee both oh! and ah! belong of right
In love and war) how odd are the connections
Of human thoughts, which jostle in their flight!
jostle - धक्का देना, धकेलना, धक्का
Just now yours were cut out in different sections:
First Ismail's capture caught your fancy quite;
capture - आकर्षित करना, पकड़, बन्दी, जीत लेना, जीत लेना, पकड्ॅअना, पकड़ना
Next of new knights, the fresh and glorious batch;
batch - जत्था
And thirdly he who brought you the despatch!
thirdly - तीसरा
Shakspeare talks of 'the herald Mercury
mercury - पारा, पारद
New lighted on a heaven-kissing hill;'
And some such visions cross'd her majesty,
While her young herald knelt before her still.
'Tis very true the hill seem'd rather high,
For a lieutenant to climb up; but skill
climb up - ऊपर चढ़ो
Smooth'd even the Simplon's steep, and by God's blessing
With youth and health all kisses are 'heaven-kissing.'
Her majesty look'd down, the youth look'd up"
And so they fell in love;"she with his face,
His grace, his God-knows-what: for Cupid's cup
With the first draught intoxicates apace,
intoxicates - नशे में लाना, उन्मत्त करना
A quintessential laudanum or 'black drop,'
quintessential - सारतात्विक, सर्वोत्कृष्ट
laudanum - the tincture of opium once widely used
Which makes one drunk at once, without the base
Expedient of full bumpers; for the eye
expedient - व्यावहारिक, योग्य, उपाय
In love drinks all life's fountains (save tears) dry.
He, on the other hand, if not in love,
Fell into that no less imperious passion,
Self-love"which, when some sort of thing above
Ourselves, a singer, dancer, much in fashion,
Or duchess, princess, empress, 'deigns to prove'
Duchess - रानी/ड्यूक की पत्नी, डचेस
('Tis Pope's phrase) a great longing, though a rash one,
For one especial person out of many,
especial - विशिष्ट
Makes us believe ourselves as good as any.
Besides, he was of that delighted age
Which makes all female ages equal"when
We don't much care with whom we may engage,
engage - नियुक्त करना, आकर्षित करना, आक्रमण करना, सगाई करना
As bold as Daniel in the lion's den,
So that we can our native sun assuage
assuage - कम करना, शांत करना, शान्त करना, बुझाना
In the next ocean, which may flow just then,
To make a twilight in, just as Sol's heat is
Sol - सोल
Quench'd in the lap of the salt sea, or Thetis.
lap - चपड़-पचड़ पीना, गटागट पी जाना
And Catherine (we must say thus much for Catherine),
Though bold and bloody, was the kind of thing
Whose temporary passion was quite flattering,
temporary - अल्पकालीन, अस्थायी कर्मचारी, अस्थायी, अल्पकालिक
Because each lover look'd a sort of king,
Made up upon an amatory pattern,
A royal husband in all save the ring"
Which, being the damn'dest part of matrimony,
Seem'd taking out the sting to leave the honey.
And when you add to this, her womanhood
In its meridian, her blue eyes or gray
(The last, if they have soul, are quite as good,
Or better, as the best examples say:
Napoleon's, Mary's (queen of Scotland), should
Scotland - स्कौटलैंड
Lend to that colour a transcendent ray;
And Pallas also sanctions the same hue,
Pallas -
sanctions - स्वीकृति, दण्ड, संस्वीकृत, स्वीकृति देना, मंज़ूरी, दण्डविधान
Too wise to look through optics black or blue)"
Her sweet smile, and her then majestic figure,
majestic - शानदार, तेजस्वी, राजसी, भव्य
Her plumpness, her imperial condescension,
plumpness - मुटापा, मोटापा
condescension - नम्रता, कृपालुता, सौजन्य
Her preference of a boy to men much bigger
(Fellows whom Messalina's self would pension),
Her prime of life, just now in juicy vigour,
juicy - कामोत्तेजक, सनसनीखेज, रसदार, दिलचस्प, आकर्षक, रसाल
With other extras, which we need not mention,"
All these, or any one of these, explain
Enough to make a stripling very vain.
And that 's enough, for love is vanity,
Selfish in its beginning as its end,
Selfish - स्वार्थी, मतलबी
Except where 'tis a mere insanity,
A maddening spirit which would strive to blend
maddening - क्रुद्ध होना[करना], गुस्से से पागल करना
Itself with beauty's frail inanity,
On which the passion's self seems to depend:
And hence some heathenish philosophers
Make love the main spring of the universe.
Besides Platonic love, besides the love
Of God, the love of sentiment, the loving
Of faithful pairs (I needs must rhyme with dove,
That good old steam-boat which keeps verses moving
Steam - भाप, वाष्प
'Gainst reason"Reason ne'er was hand-and-glove
With rhyme, but always leant less to improving
leant - टेक लग्ना, ब्ंजर, सहारे रखना, झुक्ना, बिना चर्बी का
The sound than sense)"beside all these pretences
pretences - दिखावा, कपट, बहाना, दावा, ढोंग
To love, there are those things which words name senses;
Those movements, those improvements in our bodies
improvements - सुधार, प्रगति, उन्नति, वृध्दि
Which make all bodies anxious to get out
Of their own sand-pits, to mix with a goddess,
sand-pits - (sand-pits) खाने और खेतों
goddess - देवी
For such all women are at first no doubt.
How beautiful that moment! and how odd is
That fever which precedes the languid rout
precedes - आगे करना, आगे करना, से पहले आना या घटित होना, पहले आना
Of our sensations! What a curious way
The whole thing is of clothing souls in clay!
The noblest kind of love is love Platonical,
To end or to begin with; the next grand
Is that which may be christen'd love canonical,
christen - पहली बार इस्तेमाल करना, नाम देना, नामकरण करना, नाम रखना
canonical - धर्म वैधानिक
Because the clergy take the thing in hand;
clergy - पादरी, पुरोहित वर्ग
The third sort to be noted in our chronicle
As flourishing in every Christian land,
flourishing - अलंकरण, हाव भाव से, फलना फूल् होना, संपन्न होना, अलंकृत भाषा
Is when chaste matrons to their other ties
Add what may be call'd marriage in disguise.
Well, we won't analyse"our story must
analyse - मनोविश्लेषण, विश्लेषण करना, विश्लेशण करना, मनोविश्लेषण करना
Tell for itself: the sovereign was smitten,
smitten - मारना/प्रहार करना
Juan much flatter'd by her love, or lust;"
I cannot stop to alter words once written,
And the two are so mix'd with human dust,
That he who names one, both perchance may hit on:
But in such matters Russia's mighty empress
Russia - रूस
Behaved no better than a common sempstress.
sempstress - दर्जिन
The whole court melted into one wide whisper,
And all lips were applied unto all ears!
The elder ladies'wrinkles curl'd much crisper

Of all the standing army who stood by.
All the ambassadors of all the powers
ambassadors - राजदूत, दूत
Enquired, Who was this very new young man,
enquired - पता लगाना, पूछना, पता लगाना
Who promised to be great in some few hours?
Which is full soon"though life is but a span.
Already they beheld the silver showers
Of rubles rain, as fast as specie can,
specie - प्रजाति
Upon his cabinet, besides the presents
cabinet - काबीना, मंत्रिमंडल
Of several ribands, and some thousand peasants.
Catherine was generous,"all such ladies are:
Love, that great opener of the heart and all
The ways that lead there, be they near or far,
Above, below, by turnpikes great or small,"
turnpikes - शुल्क मार्ग, शुल्क द्वार, मार्ग के आर पार का फाटक, शुल्क मार्ग
Love (though she had a cursed taste for war,
And was not the best wife, unless we call
Such Clytemnestra, though perhaps 'tis better
That one should die, than two drag on the fetter)"
Love had made Catherine make each lover's fortune,
Unlike our own half-chaste Elizabeth,
Elizabeth - female given name
Whose avarice all disbursements did importune,
disbursements - लागत, भुगतान, व्यय
importune - हठ करना
If history, the grand liar, ever saith
liar - झूठा
The truth; and though grief her old age might shorten,

Because she put a favourite to death,
Her vile, ambiguous method of flirtation,
ambiguous - अस्पष्ट, संदिग्ध, अनेकार्थी, द्वयार्थी, संदेह जनक, दुविधापूर्ण
And stinginess, disgrace her sex and station.

Ambassadors began as 'twere to hustle

It is to speculate on handsome faces,
Especially when such lead to high places.
Juan, who found himself, he knew not how,
A general object of attention, made
His answers with a very graceful bow,
As if born for the ministerial trade.
ministerial - मंत्रालय संबंधी, मंत्रीपदीय
Though modest, on his unembarrass'd brow
Nature had written 'gentleman.'He said
Little, but to the purpose; and his manner
Flung hovering graces o'er him like a banner.
An order from her majesty consign'd
Our young lieutenant to the genial care
Of those in office: all the world look'd kind
(As it will look sometimes with the first stare,
Which youth would not act ill to keep in mind),
As also did Miss Protasoff then there,
Named from her mystic office'l'Eprouveuse,'
A term inexplicable to the Muse.
With her then, as in humble duty bound,
Juan retired,"and so will I, until
My Pegasus shall tire of touching ground.
We have just lit on a 'heaven-kissing hill,'
So lofty that I feel my brain turn round,
turn round - घुमाएँ
And all my fancies whirling like a mill;
Mill - मिल
Which is a signal to my nerves and brain,
To take a quiet ride in some green Lane.
lane - गली, खोरी

In a most natural whirl, called 'gravitation;'
most natural - सबसे प्राकृतिक
Gravitation - गुरुत्वाकर्षण
And this is the sole mortal who could grapple,
grapple - भिड़ जाना
Since Adam, with a fall or with an apple.
Man fell with apples, and with apples rose,
If this be true; for we must deem the mode
In which Sir Isaac Newton could disclose
Isaac - son of Abraham and Sarah, male given name
Through the then unpaved stars the turnpike road,
unpaved - बिना पटरी बिछा
A thing to counterbalance human woes:
counterbalance - प्रतिसंतुलन, तुल्य भार करना, प्रतिभार, प्रतिसंतुलित करना
For ever since immortal man hath glow'd
With all kinds of mechanics, and full soon

My bosom underwent a glorious glow,

caper - कूदना
And though so much inferior, as I know,
To those who, by the dint of glass and vapour,
Discover stars and sail in the wind's eye,
I wish to do as much by poesy.
In the wind's eye I have sail'd, and sail; but for
The stars, I own my telescope is dim:
But at least I have shunn'd the common shore,
And leaving land far out of sight, would skim
The ocean of eternity: the roar
Of breakers has not daunted my slight, trim,
daunted - धमकाना, भयभीत करना, निरुत्साह करना/धमकाना/डराना/भय दिखाना
But still sea-worthy skiff; and she may float

Where ships have founder'd, as doth many a boat.
founder - डूब जाना, संस्थापक, असफल हो जाना, डूब जाना, जन्मदाता
We left our hero, Juan, in the bloom
Of favouritism, but not yet in the blush;
favouritism - पक्षपात
And far be it from my Muses to presume
(For I have more than one Muse at a push)
To follow him beyond the drawing-room:
It is enough that Fortune found him flush
Of youth, and vigour, beauty, and those things
Which for an instant clip enjoyment's wings.
clip - कतरना
enjoyment - मज़ा, आनंद
But soon they grow again and leave their nest.
grow again - फिर से बढ़ना

Sigh like his son, than cough like his grandfather?
But sighs subside, and tears (even widows') shrink,
subside - घटना, शांत होना, बैठ जाना, कम हो जाना, कम होना, उतर जाना
Like Arno in the summer, to a shallow,
Arno - river in Tuscany
So narrow as to shame their wintry brink,
wintry - शीत ऋतु का, शीतकालीन
Which threatens inundations deep and yellow!
Threatens - धमकाना, घटित होना, सूचना देना, डराना, चेताना, धमकी देना
inundations - बाढ, जलप्लावन
Such difference doth a few months make. You'd think
Grief a rich field which never would lie fallow;
fallow - परती छोड़ देना
No more it doth, its ploughs but change their boys,
ploughs - खेत जोतना, हल, जोतना, सप्तर्षिमण्डल
Who furrow some new soil to sow for joys.
furrow - कुंड
But coughs will come when sighs depart"and now
coughs - देना, ध्वनी निकालना, खाँसी, कह डालना, खाँसना, कफ़
And then before sighs cease; for oft the one
Will bring the other, ere the lake-like brow
Is ruffled by a wrinkle, or the sun
wrinkle - झुर्री
Of life reach'd ten o'clock: and while a glow,
Hectic and brief as summer's day nigh done,
O'erspreads the cheek which seems too pure for clay,
Thousands blaze, love, hope, die,"how happy they!
But Juan was not meant to die so soon.
We left him in the focus of such glory
As may be won by favour of the moon
Or ladies'fancies"rather transitory
Perhaps; but who would scorn the month of June,
Because December, with his breath so hoary,
Must come? Much rather should he court the ray,
To hoard up warmth against a wintry day.
hoard - खजाना, गुप्त धन
Besides, he had some qualities which fix
Middle-aged ladies even more than young:
The former know what 's what; while new-fledged chicks
fledged - पंखदार, मज़बूत पंख सहित, उड़ने योग्य
chicks - युवती, चूज़ा, चूजे
Know little more of love than what is sung
In rhymes, or dreamt (for fancy will play tricks)
In visions of those skies from whence Love sprung.
Some reckon women by their suns or years,
I rather think the moon should date the dears.
And why? because she 's changeable and chaste.
I know no other reason, whatsoe'er
Suspicious people, who find fault in haste,
find fault - गलती ढूंढना
May choose to tax me with; which is not fair,
Nor flattering to 'their temper or their taste,'
As my friend Jeffrey writes with such an air:
However, I forgive him, and I trust
He will forgive himself;"if not, I must.
Old enemies who have become new friends
Should so continue"'tis a point of honour;
A point of honour - अंतर्निहित सम्मान
And I know nothing which could make amends
For a return to hatred: I would shun her
hatred - घृणा, घिन, दुश्मनी, नफ़रत
Like garlic, howsoever she extends
garlic - लहसुन
extends - फैलना, फैलाना, देना, बढ़ाना, प्रसारित करना/विस्तृत करना
Her hundred arms and legs, and fain outrun her.
outrun - से आगे निकलना, से जल्दी दौड़ना, से आगे निकलना
Old flames, new wives, become our bitterest foes"
Converted foes should scorn to join with those.
This were the worst desertion:"renegadoes,
desertion - परित्याग, अपसरण
Even shuffling Southey, that incarnate lie,
shuffling - पैर घसीट कर चलना, (shuffle)
Would scarcely join again the 'reformadoes,'
Whom he forsook to fill the laureate's sty:
sty - सुअर बाड़ा
And honest men from Iceland to Barbadoes,
Iceland - id=Q189 ountry in Europe
Whether in Caledon or Italy,
Should not veer round with every breath, nor seize
veer - दिशा बदलना

And nought remains unseen, but much untold,

scour - मांजना, चमकाना, साफ करना
While common men grow ignorantly old,
ignorantly - अनभिज्ञतापूर्वक, अज्ञानतापूर्वक
The lawyer's brief is like the surgeon's knife,
Dissecting the whole inside of a question,
dissecting - विश्लेषण, (dissect) विश्लेषण
And with it all the process of digestion.
A legal broom 's a moral chimney-sweeper,
broom - झाड़ू
sweeper - झाड़न, स्वीपर, झाड़ू लगाने वाला, मेहतर, फुट बाल का एक खिलाड़ी
And that 's the reason he himself 's so dirty;
The endless soot bestows a tint far deeper
Soot - कालिख
bestows - प्रदान करना
tint - हलका रंग
Than can be hid by altering his shirt; he
altering - बदल देना, बदल जाना
Retains the sable stains of the dark creeper,

Dear Jefferson, once my most redoubted foe

(As far as rhyme and criticism combine
To make such puppets of us things below),
puppets - पुतली, कठपुतली, गुड़िया
Are over: Here 's a health to 'Auld Lang Syne!'
auld - औल्ड
Syne - सिने
I do not know you, and may never know
Your face"but you have acted on the whole
acted on - कार्रवाई की
Most nobly, and I own it from my soul.
And when I use the phrase of 'Auld Lang Syne!'
'Tis not address'd to you"the more 's the pity
For me, for I would rather take my wine
With you, than aught (save Scott) in your proud city.
But somehow,"it may seem a schoolboy's whine,
And yet I seek not to be grand nor witty,
But I am half a Scot by birth, and bred
Scot - स्कटलैण्डवासी, कर/स्काटलैंड् वासी
by birth - जन्म से
A whole one, and my heart flies to my head,"
As 'Auld Lang Syne'brings Scotland, one and all,
Scotch plaids, Scotch snoods, the blue hills, and clear streams,
plaids - चारखानेदार कपड़ा, पट्टू, चारखानेदार कपड़ा, गमछा
streams - बहना, वर्ग, प्रवाह, धारा, शाखा, लहराना, धारा रूप में बहना
The Dee, the Don, Balgounie's brig's black wall,
All my boy feelings, all my gentler dreams
Of what I then dreamt, clothed in their own pall,
Like Banquo's offspring;"floating past me seems
My childhood in this childishness of mine:
childishness - childishness
I care not"'tis a glimpse of 'Auld Lang Syne.'
And though, as you remember, in a fit
Of wrath and rhyme, when juvenile and curly,
I rail'd at Scots to show my wrath and wit,
Which must be own'd was sensitive and surly,
surly - बदमिजाज़, खिन्न, चिड़चिड़ा
Yet 'tis in vain such sallies to permit,
sallies - निकलना, उत्साहपूर्वक निकल पड़ना, धावा, जोखिमपूर्ण कदम
They cannot quench young feelings fresh and early:
I 'scotch'd not kill'd'the Scotchman in my blood,
Scotchman - स्कटलैण्डवासी
And love the land of 'mountain and of flood.'
Don Juan, who was real, or ideal,"
For both are much the same, since what men think
Exists when the once thinkers are less real
thinkers - विचारक, चिन्तक, सोचने वाला
Than what they thought, for mind can never sink,
And 'gainst the body makes a strong appeal;
And yet 'tis very puzzling on the brink
Of what is call'd eternity, to stare,
And know no more of what is here, than there;"
Don Juan grew a very polish'd Russian"
How we won't mention, why we need not say:
Few youthful minds can stand the strong concussion
concussion - आघात, मस्तिष्काघात, सिर में चोट जो कम गंभीर हो
Of any slight temptation in their way;
But his just now were spread as is a cushion
Smooth'd for a monarch's seat of honour; gay
Damsels, and dances, revels, ready money,
Made ice seem paradise, and winter sunny.
The favour of the empress was agreeable;
agreeable - रजामंद
And though the duty wax'd a little hard,
Young people at his time of life should be able
To come off handsomely in that regard.
handsomely - सुंदरता से
He was now growing up like a green tree, able
For love, war, or ambition, which reward
Their luckier votaries, till old age's tedium

Make some prefer the circulating medium.

Seduced by youth and dangerous examples,

On our fresh feelings, but"as being participated

And shut our souls up in us like a shell-fish.
This we pass over. We will also pass
The usual progress of intrigues between
Unequal matches, such as are, alas!
A young lieutenant's with a not old queen,
But one who is not so youthful as she was
In all the royalty of sweet seventeen.
royalty - रयल्टी, राजपरिवार सदस्य, स्वत्व शुल्क, ग्रन्थकार का प्राप्य अंश
Sovereigns may sway materials, but not matter,
And Death, the sovereign's sovereign, though the great
Gracchus of all mortality, who levels
With his Agrarian laws the high estate
agrarian - कृषिक, भूमि विषयक, कृषि संबंधी
Of him who feasts, and fights, and roars, and revels,
roars - गरजना, चिल्लाना, शोरगुल, ठहाका लगाना, गड़गड़ाहट, ठहाका, भभक
To one small grass-grown patch (which must await

Who never had a foot of land till now,"
Death 's a reformer, all men must allow.
reformer - सुधारक, सुधारने वाला, संशोधक
He lived (not Death, but Juan) in a hurry
Of waste, and haste, and glare, and gloss, and glitter,
gloss - चमक

Through all the 'purple and fine linen,'fitter
For Babylon's than Russia's royal harlot"
And neutralize her outward show of scarlet.
neutralize - निष्प्रभावित करना, तटस्थ करना, तटस्थ करना, निष्प्रभाव करना
And this same state we won't describe: we would
Perhaps from hearsay, or from recollection;
hearsay - सुनी सुनाई, अफ़वाह
But getting nigh grim Dante's 'obscure wood,'
That horrid equinox, that hateful section
equinox - विषुव
hateful - घृणित
Of human years, that half-way house, that rude
Hut, whence wise travellers drive with circumspection
circumspection - समझदारी, सावधानी

Of this odd labyrinth; or as the kelp
kelp - पौधा{समुद्री}
Holds by the rock; or as a lover's kiss
Drains its first draught of lips:"but, as I said,
I won't philosophise, and will be read.
Juan, instead of courting courts, was courted,"
courting - प्रणय निवेदन, (court), आंगन, प्राङ्गण
Courts - चाहना, अदालत, बुलाना, पैदा करना, उठाना, ध्यान देना, बैठक
courted - चाहना, अदालत, बुलाना, पैदा करना, उठाना, ध्यान देना, बैठक
A thing which happens rarely: this he owed
owed - चाहना, देनदार होना, एहसानमंद होना, रृणि होना, ऋणी होना
Much to his youth, and much to his reported
Valour; much also to the blood he show'd,
Like a race-horse; much to each dress he sported,
race-horse - (race-horse) रेस होर्स
Which set the beauty off in which he glow'd,
As purple clouds befringe the sun; but most
befringe - बेफ्रिंज
He owed to an old woman and his post.
He wrote to Spain:"and all his near relations,
Perceiving fie was in a handsome way
Of getting on himself, and finding stations
For cousins also, answer'd the same day.
Several prepared themselves for emigrations;
emigrations - उत्प्रवासन, उत्प्रवास
And eating ices, were o'erheard to say,
That with the addition of a slight pelisse,

That in the lieu of drawing on his banker,
lieu - बदले में, स्थान, जगह, खातिर

Those pleasures after which wild youth will hanker;

As the sole sign of man's being in his senses
Is, learning to reduce his past expenses.
'She also recommended him to God,
And no less to God's Son, as well as Mother,
Warn'd him against Greek worship, which looks odd
worship - पूजा r=pūjā, इबादत r=ibādat
In Catholic eyes; but told him, too, to smother
Outward dislike, which don't look well abroad;
Inform'd him that he had a little brother
Born in a second wedlock; and above
All, praised the empress's maternal love.
'She could not too much give her approbation
Unto an empress, who preferr'd young men
Whose age, and what was better still, whose nation
And climate, stopp'd all scandal (now and then):"
At home it might have given her some vexation;
But where thermometers sunk down to ten,
thermometers - थर्मामीटर{शीतोष्ण मापक यंत्र}
Or five, or one, or zero, she could never
Believe that virtue thaw'd before the river.'

Who, though her spectacles at last grew dim,

hypocrite - पाखंडी
But went to heaven in as sincere a way
As any body on the elected roll,
elected - मनोनीत, निर्वाचित करना, चुनना, चुनाव करना, चुनाव करना
Which portions out upon the judgment day
Heaven's freeholds, in a sort of doomsday scroll,
freeholds - पूर्ण स्वामित्व, पूर्ण स्वामित्व, पूर्ण स्वामित्व से
doomsday - क़यामत
scroll - पुस्तक
Such as the conqueror William did repay

To strip the Saxons of their hydes, like tanners;
Saxons - सैक्सन, सैक्सन्, सैक्सन् संबन्धी

Yet as they founded churches with the produce,
You'll deem, no doubt, they put it to a good use.

flourish - अलंकरण, हाव भाव से, फलना फूल् होना, संपन्न होना, अलंकृत भाषा
He felt like other plants called sensitive,
Which shrink from touch, as monarchs do from rhymes,
Save such as Southey can afford to give.
Perhaps he long'd in bitter frosts for climes
frosts - पाला, केक को चीनी के बुरादे से सजाना, आइसिंग करना
In which the Neva's ice would cease to live
Before May-day: perhaps, despite his duty,
In royalty's vast arms he sigh d for beauty:

sans - बिना/ रहित
For causes young or old: the canker-worm
canker - नासूर, छाला, घुन, सड़ा देना, सड़ जाना, फ़फ़ोला
worm - कीड़ा, पोका
Will feed upon the fairest, freshest cheek,
As well as further drain the wither'd form:

Care, like a housekeeper, brings every week
housekeeper - गृहप्रबंधक, गृहा प्रबंधक, गृहा प्रबंधिका
His bills in, and however we may storm,
They must be paid: though six days smoothly run,
smoothly - सभ्यतः, आसानी से, बाशऊर, अबाध गति से, शालीनतः, शिष्टतः

(The same who physick'd Peter) found the tick
the tick - टीक
Of his fierce pulse betoken a condition
betoken - का संकेत देना
Which augur'd of the dead, however quick
Itself, and show'd a feverish disposition;

Some said 'twas a concoction of the humours,

humours - हास्य, शक्तिअ, हास्यकला, सन्तुष्ट रखना, हास्यवृत्ति
Which with the blood too readily will claim kin;
Others again were ready to maintain,
''Twas only the fatigue of last campaign.'

bolus - round mass of food, large dose of a drug

In health"when ill, we call them to attend us,
Without the least propensity to jeer:

jeer - उपहास करना
While that 'hiatus maxime deflendus'
To be fill'd up by spade or mattock's near,

graciously - शालीनतापूर्वक, दया से

Quit; and though death had threaten'd an ejection,
ejection - निष्कासन, उत्क्षेपण
His youth and constitution bore him through,
constitution - संविधान, आईन, राज्यांग, दस्तूर
And sent the doctors in a new direction.

flicker - चमकना
Along his wasted cheek, and seem'd to gravel
gravel - बजरी
The faculty"who said that he must travel.
faculty - शक्ति, संकाय, योग्यता, क्षमता, प्राध्यापक
The climate was too cold, they said, for him,
Meridian-born, to bloom in. This opinion
Made the chaste Catherine look a little grim,
Who did not like at first to lose her minion:
minion - wafadar
But when she saw his dazzling eye wax dim,
And drooping like an eagle's with clipt pinion,
clipt - प्रहार, तेजी से प्रहार करना, कारतूस की पेटी, अंश
She then resolved to send him on a mission,
But in a style becoming his condition.
There was just then a kind of a discussion,
A sort of treaty or negotiation

negotiation - बातचीत, परक्रामण
Between the British cabinet and Russian,
Maintain'd with all the due prevarication

Which Britons deem their 'uti possidetis.'

So Catherine, who had a handsome way
Of fitting out her favourites, conferr'd
fitting out - अनुकूलन

At once her royal splendour, and reward
His services. He kiss'd hands the next day,
Received instructions how to play his card,
Was laden with all kinds of gifts and honours,
laden - लदा हुआ, लदा हुआ, (lade) लदा हुआ
Which show'd what great discernment was the donor's.
discernment - विवेक
donor - दाता
But she was lucky, and luck 's all. Your queens
Are generally prosperous in reigning;
prosperous - समृद्ध, सम्पन्न, खुशहाल, ऋद्ध

But to continue: though her years were waning
Her climacteric teased her like her teens;
climacteric - क्लाइमैक्टेरिक
teased - शरारत, परेशान करना, शरारती, चिढ़ाना
And though her dignity brook'd no complaining,
dignity - गरिमा, इज़्ज़त

setting off - सेट ऑफ
She could not find at first a fit successor.
successor - वारिस
But time, the comforter, will come at last;
comforter - दुलाई, चुसनी, रजाई
And four-and-twenty hours, and twice that number
Of candidates requesting to be placed,
candidates - व्यक्ति
Made Catherine taste next night a quiet slumber:"
Not that she meant to fix again in haste,
Nor did she find the quantity encumber,
But always choosing with deliberation,

Kept the place open for their emulation.

While this high post of honour 's in abeyance,

For one or two days, reader, we request
You'll mount with our young hero the conveyance

The fair czarina's autocratic crest,
Czarina - ज़ारीना
autocratic - स्वेच्छाचारी, निरंकुश

old maid - बेवफा
For cats and birds more penchant ne'er display'd,

Sat little Leila, who survived the parries

He made 'gainst Cossacque sabres, in the wide

Her note, she don't forget the infant girl
Whom he preserved, a pure and living pearl
preserved - मुरब्बा, सम्भाल कर रखना, बचाना, सुरक्षित रखना, बनाये रखना
Poor little thing! She was as fair as docile,
docile - अधीन, विनीत, सीख सकने योग्य, वश्य
And with that gentle, serious character,
As rare in living beings as a fossile
Man, 'midst thy mouldy mammoths, 'grand Cuvier!'
mouldy - घिसा पिटा, क्षुद्र, बेकार, फफूंदीदार
Ill fitted was her ignorance to jostle
With this o'erwhelming world, where all must err:
But she was yet but ten years old, and therefore
Was tranquil, though she knew not why or wherefore.
Don Juan loved her, and she loved him, as
Nor brother, father, sister, daughter love.
I cannot tell exactly what it was;
He was not yet quite old enough to prove
Parental feelings, and the other class,
parental - अभिभावकीय
Call'd brotherly affection, could not move
brotherly - शिखर, भ्रातृवत्, भ्रातृसदृश
His bosom,"for he never had a sister:
Ah! if he had, how much he would have miss'd her!
And still less was it sensual; for besides
That he was not an ancient debauchee
debauchee - somebody who is debauched, somebody who is dissolute and acts without moral restraint
(Who like sour fruit, to stir their veins'salt tides,

Although ('twill happen as our planet guides)
His youth was not the chastest that might be,
There was the purest Platonism at bottom
Platonism - phillosophy of Plato
Of all his feelings"only he forgot 'em.
Just now there was no peril of temptation;
He loved the infant orphan he had saved,
As patriots (now and then) may love a nation;
patriots - देशभक्त
His pride, too, felt that she was not enslaved
Owing to him;"as also her salvation
Through his means and the church's might be paved.
But one thing 's odd, which here must be inserted,
inserted - निवेशन, सम्मलित करना, प्रविष्ट करना, डालना{अन्दर या बीच में}
The little Turk refused to be converted.
'Twas strange enough she should retain the impression
impression - प्रभाव, असर
Through such a scene of change, and dread, and slaughter;
But though three bishops told her the transgression,
She show'd a great dislike to holy water:
She also had no passion for confession;

Perhaps she had nothing to confess:"no matter,
Whate'er the cause, the church made little of it"
She still held out that Mahomet was a prophet.
In fact, the only Christian she could bear
Was Juan; whom she seem'd to have selected
In place of what her home and friends once were.
He naturally loved what he protected:
And thus they form'd a rather curious pair,

As if they acted with the heart instead,
What after all can signify the site

Of ladies'lucubrations? So they lead

After the good example of 'Green Erin,'
Whose shamrock now seems rather worse for wearing.

Employ'd for, since it is their daily labour,
In the dear offices of peace or war;
And should you doubt, pray ask of your next neighbour,

To freedom, he applied (a grief and a bore),
If he found not his spawn of taxborn riches,
spawn - जलांडक, संतान
But Juan was received with much 'empressement:'-
empressement - तेजी
These phrases of refinement I must borrow

In islands is, it seems, downright and thorough,
More than on continents"as if the sea
(See Billingsgate) made even the tongue more free.

And yet the British 'Damme''s rather Attic:
Your continental oaths are but incontinent,
Continental - महाद्वीपीय, यूरोपीय

interpreted - अदा करना, अर्थ लगाना, वर्णन करना, व्याख्या करना, अनुवाद करना
Meaneth the west or worst end of a city,
And about twice two thousand people bred
By no means to be very wise or witty,
But to sit up while others lie in bed,
And look down on the universe with pity,"
Juan, as an inveterate patrician,
Was well received by persons of condition.
He was a bachelor, which is a matter
Of import both to virgin and to bride,
The former's hymeneal hopes to flatter;
hymeneal - pertaining to marriage, pertaining to hymen, hymn, song or poem
And (should she not hold fast by love or pride)
'Tis also of some moment to the latter:
A rib 's a thorn in a wed gallant's side,
rib - पसली की हड्डी
Requires decorum, and is apt to double
decorum - मर्यादा
The horrid sin"and what 's still worse, the trouble.
But Juan was a bachelor"of arts,
And parts, and hearts: he danced and sung, and had
An air as sentimental as Mozart's
Softest of melodies; and could be sad
melodies - मधुर गीत, मधुर संगीत
Or cheerful, without any 'flaws or starts,'
Just at the proper time; and though a lad,
Had seen the world"which is a curious sight,
And very much unlike what people write.

Against his heart preferr'd their usual claims,
Such as no gentleman can quite refuse:

Inquired his income, and if he had brothers.

Throughout the season, upon speculation
Of payment ere the honey-moon's last kisses
Have waned into a crescent's coruscation,

Advanced in all their azure's highest hue:

Late authors ask'd him for a hint or two;

And whether in his travels he saw Ilion?
Juan, who was a little superficial,

And not in literature a great Drawcansir,

Examined by this learned and especial
Jury of matrons, scarce knew what to answer:
His duties warlike, loving or official,

Had kept him from the brink of Hippocrene,
Which now he found was blue instead of green.
However, he replied at hazard, with
A modest confidence and calm assurance,

Which lent his learned lucubrations pith,
And pass'd for arguments of good endurance.

That prodigy, Miss Araminta Smith
(Who at sixteen translated 'Hercules Furens'
translated - समझना, बदलना, ले जाना, परिवर्तित होना, व्याख्या करना
Into as furious English), with her best look,
Set down his sayings in her common-place book.

He might"and brought them up with skill, in time
To save his fame with each accomplish'd belle,
Who still regretted that he did not rhyme.

That being about their average numeral;

As every paltry magazine can show its.
In twice five years the 'greatest living poet,'
Like to the champion in the fisty ring,
Is call'd on to support his claim, or show it,
Although 'tis an imaginary thing.
Even I"albeit I'm sure I did not know it,
Nor sought of foolscap subjects to be king"
Was reckon'd a considerable time,
considerable - बहुत अधिक, महत्वपूर्ण, बहुत
The grand Napoleon of the realms of rhyme.
But Juan was my Moscow, and Faliero
My Leipsic, and my Mount Saint Jean seems Cain:

praetorian - member of that force
A 'dreadful trade,'like his who 'gathers samphire,'
