To Thomas Moore, st. 2.

“No star from above
nor flower in the field
seems to me as fair
as the one I love.”
Nem no campo flores,
Nem no céu estrelas
Me parecem belas
Como os meus amores.

Canto III, stanza 2.
The Lay of the Last Minstrel (1805)
Context: In peace, Love tunes the shepherd's reed;
In war, he mounts the warrior's steed;
In halls, in gay attire is seen;
In hamlets, dances on the green.
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove,
And men below, and saints above;
For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
