All have their fooleries; not alike
are thine,
Fair Cadiz, rising o’er the
dark blue sea!
Soon as the matin bell proclaimeth
nine,
Thy saint adorers count the rosary:
Much is the Virgin teased to shrive
them free
(Well do I ween the only virgin
there)
From crimes as numerous as her beadsmen
be;
Then to the crowded circus forth
they fare:
Young, old, high, low, at once the same diversion
share.
