Nulla dies nostro Maerorem e pectore demet.
TELLA recedentem iam iamqve minutior orbem
Obvia luciferis una morata rotis,
Illa dies duce te volvente relabitur anno
Qva fuit e nostro rapta Maria sinu.
O animarum adscripta choro, dilecta Maria,
Illa domus, felix qva reqviescis, ubi est?
Contemplaris humi prostratum in pulvere, et audis
Quanto se gemitu torqveat intus amans?
Mene sacri fas est oblivia temporis umqvam
Ducere, mene sacrum non meminisse nemus,
Qva patriae propter flexus convenimus undae,
Extremumqve diem mutuus egit amor?
Nulla aetas animo monumenta perennia demet;
Nec mihi deliciae praeteriere meae:
Non species omnis tua vanuit, oscula qvalis
Ultima, nec nobis ultima visa, dabas.
Lympha susurrantes riparum amplexa lapillos
Fronde superfusis ibat opaca vadis ;
Spinaqve cana vagos miscebat odoraqve flexus
Betula per laetum, par geniale, locum.
Germina surgebant tangi poscentia ; nec qvi
Ramus amorem avium non resonaret, erat:
Dum rubet Hesperia caelum de parte, diemqve
Heu nimis admissa nunciat ire rota.
Illis deliciis etiamnum laetor, et illis
Immoror, occultas inter avarus opes.
Tempore crescit adhuc constantior intus imago,
Altior ire latex tempore qvalis amat.
O animarum adscripta choro, dilecta Maria,
Illa domus, felix qva reqviescis, ubi est?
Contemplaris humi prostratum in pulvere, et audis
Quanto se gemitu torqveat intus amans?
EACE be around thee wherever thou rovest,
May life be for thee one summer's day,
And all that thou wishest, and all that thou lovest,
Come smiling around thy sunny way!
If sorrow e'er this calm should break,
May e'en thy tears pass off so lightly,
That, like spring showers, they only make
The smiles that follow shine more brightly!
May Time, who sheds his blight o'er all,
And daily dooms some joy to death,
O'er thee let years so gently fall,
They shall not crush one flower beneath!
As half in shade and half in sun
This world along its path advances,
May that side the sun's upon
Be all that e'er shall meet thy glances!
HILE on the cliff with calm delight she kneels,
And the blue vales a thousand joys recall,
See to the last, last verge her infant steals!
O fly-yet stir not, speak not, lest it fall.
Far better taught, she lays her bosom bare,
And the fond boy springs back to nestle there.
HY praise or dispraise is to me alike:
One doth not stroke me, nor the other strike.
E circum Pax alma volet, qvocumqve vageris,
Unum eat aestivum vita imitata diem;
Qvidqvid et in votis fuerit tibi, amabile qvidqvid, Adveniat, laetas concelebretqve vias.
Qvod si forte dolor placidum maculaverit aevum,
Splendet ut ex verno gratior imbre dies,
Non aliter lacrimis fuga maturetur, ut ipsos
Plenior in risus accumuletur honos.
Qvae nihil obducta non vi robiginis aetas
Proruit, inqve dies singula nostra rapit,
super invisos tam leniter ingerat annos Innocuum ut teneris floribus addat onus. Dum medius noctis patiens mediusqve diei Qvod semel instituit volvitur orbis iter, A precor illa tuo tantum versetur in ore Qvae pars assiduis solibus aucta nitet.
UM sedet in scopulo mater, cui caerula vallis
Tot revocat laetos, qvi periere, dies,
Parvus ad extremam rupem prorepserat infans.
Qvin rapis? immo mane, ne cadat; immo sile.
Haec tamen arte sagax nudat meliore papillas :
Ponit ibi cupidum redditus erro caput.
ULPANE dignum an laude me putas ? neutram
Moramur haec non mulcet, illa non mulcat.
EANWHILE the south wind rose, and, with black wings
Wide-hovering, all the clouds together drove
From under heaven; the hills to their supply
Vapour and exhalation dusk and moist
Sent up amain. And now the thickened sky
Like a dark ceiling stood; down rushed the rain
Impetuous; and continued, till the earth
No more was seen: the floating vessel swum
Uplifted, and secure with beaked prow
Rode tilting o'er the waves; all dwelling else
Flood overwhelmed, and then with all their pomp
Deep under water rolled; sea covered sea,
Sea without shore; and in their palaces,
Where luxury late reigned, sea monsters whelped
And stabled; of mankind, so numerous late,
All left in one small bottom swum imbarked.
WEET, be not proud of those two eyes,
Which starlike sparkle in their skies,
Nor be you proud that you can see
All hearts your captives, yours yet free.
Be you not proud of that rich hair
Which wantons with the love-sick air :
Whereas that ruby that you wear
Sunk from the tip of your soft ear
Will last to be a precious stone
When all your world of beauty's gone.
NTEREA egreditur Notus et nigrantibus alis Imminet, agglomerans pendentia nubila caeli : Ollis aerium umorem tenebrasqve ministrant Continuo colles. Piceus superastitit aether More lacunaris: ruit ingens agmen aquarum Et tandem opprimitur crescenti gurgite tellus. It ratis insultans haud setius aeqvore summo, Et secura natat rostrata concita prora, Sola hominum domus ; at prorumpens abdit aqvae Cetera subsidunt ipsi, luxusqve sub aestus Omnis it in cassum : simul unda supervenit undam Immensiqve fremunt late sine litore fluctus. Qvae modo regifica splendebant atria pompa Nunc horrenda tenent ululantum monstra ferarum : Relliqviaeqve hominum, de tot modo millibus eheu Pars qvota? naviculae parva conduntur in alvo.
I tibi sic oculi fulgent ut sidera caeli
Bina, supercilio, lux mea, parce tamen ;
Parce supercilio, qvamvis tibi videris omnes,
Nulli te victas, Phylli, dedisse manus.
Nec fastus nimios sumat coma flava,
Arte cupidinea fallere docta Notum:
Nam splendore tuo diuturnior iste micabit
Qvi rubet a tenera pendulus aure lapis:
Copiaqve haec qvando venerum tam larga tuarum
Fugerit, in pretio gemma superstes erit.
