Don Juan 01-109
Canto the First

CIX

Julia had honour, virtue, truth, and love,
     For Don Alfonso; and she inly swore,
By all the vows below to powers above,
     She never would disgrace the ring she wore,
Nor leave a wish which wisdom might reprove;
     And while she ponder'd this, besides much more,
One hand on Juan's carelessly was thrown,
Quite by mistake-she thought it was her own;
