DON JUAN. 235 Li. But still that tinge was for a moment there, Like a faint sun-beam on the spotless snow ; Don Juan thought she never seemed more fair, When animated with that transient glow. Her glances for an instant wandered where He sate ;—these were the only signs to show | That his abrupt imtention to depart Made an impression on her gentle heart. LIL. There is a witchery in woman’s eyes So tender and so fond—that if your heart Be steeled against the magic of her sighs, Yet to her glances must you yield a part.— Woman, with all her idle phantasies, With all her coyness, fickleness, and art, Is still the beam that breaks upon our might, And in our darkest hour makes misery light ! = Liv. That witchery of the eyes Don Juan felt, When he beheld Aurora’s glances fall On him—enough his very soul to melt, And every sense into Elysium call. He seemed as if he could have gladly knelt Before her—in the presence of them all— To thank her for that glance she cast on him; - But she had grown once more so cold and prim. CODMicloOokxs.conn
