A Lesson To Be Learned From Don Juan's Sorry Fate
Don't invite a statue to your party.
Don't mess with beings made of stone.
Frail mortals are much more hearty,
so keep safely to weak flesh and bone.
Don Juan, that notorious rake,
seduced ladies, we know, by the score.
No loaf would he let overbake.
He had no time for morals and law.
His wickedness led to perdition.
He took many a step too far.
He bet on his deathbed contrition,
which at last just fate would debar.
