DON JUAN. 137 XXX, Yes—when, no longer coy, she sinks in pleasure Upon your bosom,—when her virgin charms Surrender, amid sighs, their choicest treasure,— When new emotions triumph o’er alarms, And teach her ecstacies beyond all measure pat When, palpitating—blushing, in your arms, Her flashing eyes and pouting lips apart Proclaim the happiness which fills her heart :— XX XI, This is the earthly joy beyond compare— The fruit whose tempting aspect Mother Eve Could not resist, and which led the first pair That comfortable residence to leave, Of which they held the pleasant leasehold, where Euphrates rolls.—But it were vain to grieve For having learnt th’ enjoyment of a fruit Whose taste is even known unto the brute. XXXII, And such too was the bliss ineffable That Juan tasted in his mistress’ arms,— Ah! Rose—sweet Rose—what sad emotions swell Within me—and what indignation warms My soul, as thus the hapless tale I tell Of virtue sacrificed and rifled charms !— Alas! although not easy to be won, Too soon, confiding girl, wast thou undone!
