This breathed itself to life in Julie, this

Invested her with all that's wild and sweet;

This hallowed, too, the memorable kiss [18.B.]

Which every morn his fevered lip would greet,

From hers, who but with friendship his would meet;

But to that gentle touch, through brain and breast

Flashed the thrilled Spirit's love-devouring heat;[jt]

In that absorbing sigh perchance more blest

Than vulgar minds may be with all they seek possest.
