Don Juan 04-056
Canto the Fourth

 LVI

Afric is all the sun's, and as her earth
 Her human day is kindled; full of power
For good or evil, burning from its birth,
 The Moorish blood partakes the planet's hour,
And like the soil beneath it will bring forth:
 Beauty and love were Haidee's mother's dower;
But her large dark eye show'd deep Passion's force,
Though sleeping like a lion near a source.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
