Don Juan 01-110
Canto the First

CX

Unconsciously she lean'd upon the other,
     Which play'd within the tangles of her hair:
And to contend with thoughts she could not smother
     She seem'd by the distraction of her air.
'T was surely very wrong in Juan's mother
     To leave together this imprudent pair,
She who for many years had watch'd her son so-
I'm very certain mine would not have done so.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824) ByronLong
