LUCIETTA. A FRAGMENT by GEORGE GORDON BYRON

Poet Analysis

First Line: LUCIETTA, MY DEARY
Last Line: COETERA DESUNT.
Subject(s): LOVE – NATURE OF;
LUCIETTA, my deary,
That fairest of faces!
Is made up of kisses;
But, in love, oft the case is
Even stranger than this is --
There's another, that's slyer,
Who touches me nigher, --
A Witch, an intriguer,
Whose manner and figure
Now piques me, excites me,
Torments and delights me --
Coetera desunt.
