Don Juan 04-019
Canto the Fourth

 XIX

This is in others a factitious state,
 An opium dream of too much youth and reading,
But was in them their nature or their fate:
 No novels e'er had set their young hearts bleeding,
For Haidee's knowledge was by no means great,
 And Juan was a boy of saintly breeding;
So that there was no reason for their loves
More than for those of nightingales or doves.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
