Don Juan 02-116
Canto the Second

CXVI

Her brow was overhung with coins of gold,
     That sparkled o'er the auburn of her hair-
Her clustering hair, whose longer locks were roll'd
     In braids behind; and though her stature were
Even of the highest for a female mould,
     They nearly reach'd her heel; and in her air
There was a something which bespoke command,
As one who was a lady in the land.

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