Don Juan 02-020
Canto the Second

XX

"Sooner shall heaven kiss earth (here he fell sicker),
     Oh, Julia! what is every other woe-
(For God's sake let me have a glass of liquor;
     Pedro, Battista, help me down below.)
Julia, my love! (you rascal, Pedro, quicker)-
     Oh, Julia! (this curst vessel pitches so)-
Beloved Julia, hear me still beseeching!"
(Here he grew inarticulate with retching.)

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