Don Juan 01-081
Canto the First

LXXXI

Love, then, but love within its proper limits,
     Was Julia's innocent determination
In young Don Juan's favour, and to him its
     Exertion might be useful on occasion;
And, lighted at too pure a shrine to dim its
     Ethereal lustre, with what sweet persuasion
He might be taught, by love and her together-
I really don't know what, nor Julia either.

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