TRUTHS
=====================================================================
The lady that wants to read my verses | |||
|
|||
I never thought, Lady, that I had this pleasure that you give me now
I never thought my pen would lit such desire in your charming soul,
|
|||
|
|||
I never thought it. This soul that is left far away from the love, unbeliever, no longer can,
except versifying unhappy threnody, but never a cheerful hymn or even an ode
|
|||
|
|||
And so, dazzling creature, «Beautiful, compassionate and good Lady»
how will I make verses to the reading of who so much does please me and I am fond off?
|
|||
|
|||
Take my verses, charming lady, and in those beautiful, affectionate hands,
give them the light of your glance that inflames and that comes from the luminous pupils,
|
|||
|
|||
They may only like this have perfume, they may only like this have light, harmony
|
|||
|
|||
Stare in them the eyes, give them inspiration — inspiration of your glance — all poetry — that they will be some fulgent madrigals. |
