DON JUAN. 173 L. “Then urge not thy desire—which, heaven well knows, Is not less shared by me: ronounce the thought To be my journey’s partner and expose Thyself to scorn, for bliss so dearly bought ! Ah! that were only courting future woes That some immediate solace might be sought ; Pledging thy future happiness to gain A moment’ry relief from present pain.”’ LI. Rose threw herself upon his bosom weeping, And murm’ring acquiescence : the big: tears Deluged her dark blue eyes, like dew-drops steeping The early violets, when Spring appears Like a fair maiden from a curtain peeping.— But, Ah! what words now fall upon her ears, As Juan strains her to his beating heart— ‘Beloved one, the moment’s come to part !”’ LI. To leave the land which saw your infant day. And traverse climes—an exile from your own ; To mark the distant shores recede away, Where all your early dreams of bliss had flown :— Can you, as thus your footsteps farther stray, And you a wanderer on the earth—alone,— Can you observe the fading land behind, -And feel no inward pang oppress your mind ?
