Now Juan was a hero as I've said,
Or shall be one which will do quite as well,
'Tis not alone the "unforgotten dead"
The Poet can embalm within his spell.
A Pitt or Luther, when his soul has sped,
Is but a name like him of whom I tell.
The shade 'twixt real and fictitious glory,
Is living in history or in a story.
