DON JUAN. 85 XXX. The missive was despatched—the answer came :— With palpitating bosom, and with eye Expressing deep suspense, the amorous dame Hastened to learn her fate in that reply. “* He comes !’’—the thought increased her guilty flame, Her breast gave vent to an exstatic sigh ; And the soft murmur of her lips apart Betrayed the tender hopes that filled her heart. XX XI, ’Twas evening. In her boudoir Adeline Lay on a sofa, languidly reclining : Throughout the chamber silence reigned serene ; The atmosphere was perfumed ; softly shining, A single lamp was on the mantle seen :— The.odours, with the mellow light combining, Upon her mind stole with a charm intense As sacred harmony and frankincense. XXXIT. The fire burned brightly in the grate ; the air Was of a summer temperature ;—’twould seem As if that boudoir could not harbour care— As if the eye of bliss alone could beam On all the luxury that centred there.— Rocked in a waking but voluptuous dream, But still with partial terrors in her mind, U pon the sofa Adeline reclined.
