Spain_, by Richard Ford, 1898, i. 67-76.]

[91] {70} "The croupe is a particular leap taught in the manege."--[MS.]
[_Croupe_, or _croup_, denotes the hind quarters of a horse. Compare
Scott's ballad of "Young Lochinvar"--"So light to the croupe the fair
lady he swung." Here it is used for "croupade," "a high curvet in which
the hind legs are brought up under the belly of the horse" (_N. Eng.
Dict._, art. "Croupade.")]

[92] {71} ["Brast" for "burst" is found in Spenser (_Faerie Queene_, i.
9. 21. 7), and is still current in Lancashire dialect. See _Lanc.
Gloss._ (E. D. S. "brast").]

[93] [One bull-fight, one matador. In describing the last act Byron
confuses the _chulos_ or cloak-waving footmen, who had already played
their part, with the single champion, the matador, who is about to
administer the _coup de grace_.]

[95] {72} "The Spaniards are as revengeful as ever. At Santa Otella, I
heard a young peasant threaten to stab a woman (an old one, to be sure,
which mitigates the offence), and was told, on expressing some small
surprise, that this ethic was by no means uncommon."--[MS.]

[96] [Byron's "orthodoxy" of the word "centinel" was suggested by the
Spanish _centinela_, or, perhaps, by Spenser's "centonell" (_Faerie
Queene_, bk. i. c. ix. st. 41, line 8).]

_And all whereat the wandering soul revolts_
_Which that stern dotard dreamed he could encage_.--[MS. erased.]

_Full from the heart of Joy's delicious springs_
_Some Bitter bubbles up, and even on Roses stings_.--[MS.]

editions "herself."]

_Had buried then his hopes, no more to rise:_
_Drugged with dull pleasure! life-abhorring Gloom_
_Wrote on his faded brow curst Cain's wandering doom_.--

_Had buried there_.--[MS. D.]

to evil is to be traced to the Calvinistic teaching of his boyhood
