"In Seville was he born, a pleasant city,
Famous for oranges and women. He
Who has not seen it will be much to pity;
So says the proverb, and I quite agree.
Of all the Spanish towns is none more pretty;
Cadiz perhaps, but that you soon may see.
Don Juan's parents lived beside the river,
A noble stream, and called the Guadalquivir."
Don Juan, Canto I Verse 8, Lord Byron
