Don Juan 02-117
Canto the Second

     CXVII
Her hair, I said, was auburn; but her eyes
     Were black as death, their lashes the same hue,
Of downcast length, in whose silk shadow lies
     Deepest attraction; for when to the view
Forth from its raven fringe the full glance flies,
     Ne'er with such force the swiftest arrow flew;
'T is as the snake late coil'd, who pours his length,
And hurls at once his venom and his strength.

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