Thomas Campion cytaty

„Miłość od waśni o ileż jest prostsza:
Rdza by przeżarła krwawe mieczy ostrza,
Znikłyby zbroje i zamilkły surmy,
Gdyby serc tylko nęciły nas szturmy.
Lecz głupiec trwoni życie i wnet kona,
Dążąc gdzie wieczny sen, noc nieskończona.”

Źródło: Najsłodsza Lesbio, żyjmy i miłujmy, tłum. Stanisław Barańczak

Shall I Come, Sweet Love, to Thee?

“The man whose silent days
In harmless joys are spent,
Whom hopes cannot delude,
Nor sorrow discontent:That man needs neither towers
Nor armour for defence,
Nor secret vaults to fly
From thunder's violence.”

“I care not for these ladies,
That must be wooed and prayed;
Give me kind Amaryllis,
The wanton country maid.
Nature art disdaineth;
Her beauty is her own.”

Sleep, Angry Beauty

“There is a garden in her face
Where roses and white lilies blow;
A heavenly paradise is that place,
Wherein all pleasant fruits do grow;
There cherries grow that none may buy,
Till Cherry-Ripe themselves do cry.”
