Poet Analysis

First Line: SAINTED JULIET! DEAREST NAME!
Last Line: CHANGED INTO FIRE, AND BLOWN ABOUT WITH SIGHS.

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 altar-throne;
My heart is lighted at thine eyes,
Changed into fire, and blown about with sighs.
