7. ↑ Amo, amas, I love a lass

As a cedar tall and slender;

Sweet cowslip’s grace

is her nominative case,

And she’s o' the feminine gender.

Can I decline a Nymph so divine?

Her voice like a flute is dulcis.

Her oculus bright, her manus white,

And soft, when I tacto, her pulse is.

Oh, how bella my puella,

I’ll kiss secula seculorum.

If I’ve luck, sir, she’s my uxor,

O dies benedictorum.

32. ↑ Make me thy lyre, even as the forest is:

What if my leaves are falling like its own!

The tumult of thy mighty harmonies

Will take from both a deep, autumnal tone,

Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, spirit fierce,

My spirit! Be thou me, impetuous one!

Drive my dead thoughts over the universe

Like withered leaves to quicken a new birth!

And, by the incantation of this verse,

Scatter, as from an unextinguished hearth

Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!

Be through my lips to unawakened earth

The trumpet of a prophecy! O, wind,

If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
