Don Juan 03-033
Canto the Third

     XXXIII
Their classical profiles, and glittering dresses,
     Their large black eyes, and soft seraphic cheeks,
Crimson as cleft pomegranates, their long tresses,
     The gesture which enchants, the eye that speaks,
The innocence which happy childhood blesses,
     Made quite a picture of these little Greeks;
So that the philosophical beholder
Sigh'd for their sakes-that they should e'er grow older.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
