Don Juan 02-111
Canto the Second

CXI

How long in his damp trance young Juan lay
     He knew not, for the earth was gone for him,
And Time had nothing more of night nor day
     For his congealing blood, and senses dim;
And how this heavy faintness pass'd away
     He knew not, till each painful pulse and limb,
And tingling vein, seem'd throbbing back to life,
For Death, though vanquish'd, still retired with strife.

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