DON JUAN. 25 LVIII. The moment of departure came. Aurora Met his adieux with proper courtesy, And maiden-like politeness—nothing more. A Close and acute observer might descry A veil of forced indifference floating o’er a Kind interest in our hero’s destiny— And p’rhaps a sentiment more tender still : But she restrained them both by her firm will. LIX, The trembling hand of Lady Adeline Lingered a moment in our hero’s grasp, And half returned his pressure—but unseen Were their emotions and the lengthened clasp. Had they alone but for a moment been, Her faultless figure, modelled like the wasp, By Juan’s glowing arm would have been prest, And her emotions poured into his breast. — LX. Passion had triumphed o’er her strength ;—in vain To her assistance had she called her pride ; Fruitless were her endeavours to regain Her self-command—when needed, ’twas-denied. Her feelings—veiled from public gaze with pain— By him who caused them only were espied ; And their last glance, ere Juan took his leave, © Gave promises which none else could perceive.
