Chapter 3 No.3

To --

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.
