Don Juan 01-079
Canto the First

LXXIX

And then there are such things as love divine,
     Bright and immaculate, unmix'd and pure,
Such as the angels think so very fine,
     And matrons who would be no less secure,
Platonic, perfect, "just such love as mine;"
     Thus Julia said-and thought so, to be sure;
And so I'd have her think, were I the man
On whom her reveries celestial ran.

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