_Byron and Rochefoucauld._--The following almost word-for-word renderings
of two of Rochefoucauld's _Reflexions_ occur in the third and fourth
stanzas of the third canto of Byron's _Don Juan_. I am not aware that any
notice has been taken of them beyond a note appended to the first passage,
in Moore's edition of Byron's _Works_, attributing the _mot_ to Montaigne:
"Yet there are some, they say, who have had _none_,
But those who have ne'er end with only _one_."--_Byron._
"On peut trouver des femmes qui n'ont jamais eu de galanterie; mais il
est rare d'en trouver qui n'en aient jamais eu
qu'une."--Rochefoucauld's _Maximes et Reflexions Morales_.
"In her first passion, woman loves her lover,
In all the others all she loves is love."--_Byron_
"Dans les premieres passions les femmes aiment l'amant; dans les autres
elles aiment l'amour."--Rochefoucauld's _Maximes et Reflexions
Morales_.
