174. A SEQUEL TO LULL. If this be grief, then double is the sting Contingent to the parting of true love :— Oh! long did the despairing fond one cling On Juan’s anxious breast—then glance above, As if to waft a prayer upon the wing Of that lorn look, the powers of heaven to move The pang’s of that farewell to mitigate, And to protect her lover’s future fate. LIV. Oh! if there really be a paradise, And if its heavenly nature but allow Angels to feel the force of woman’s eyes, And mark the anguish seated on her brow,— Then haply might their tenderest sympathies Yield to that lorn and lovely one who now Clings to the neck of him from whom to part ls to tear out the fibres of her heart. LV. At length the moment of distress was past, And in another Rose was left alone. Why had those latter moments ebbed so fast ? An instant he was there—and then was gone ! Ah! load of grief for that young soul too vast— The worst of all the ills she yet had known ; Enough to crush existence, and consign The spirit back unto its source divine ! COMIC OO KS. EON
