⁠Sainted Juliet! dearest name!
⁠If to love be life alone,
⁠Divinest Juliet,
⁠I love thee, and live; and yet
⁠Love unreturned is like the fragrant flame
Folding the slaughter of the sacrifice
⁠Offered to gods upon an altarthrone;
My heart is lighted at thine eyes,
Changed into fire, and blown about with sighs.
