1. Upon Julia's clothes

[Whenas]1 in silks my Julia goes,
Then, then (methinks) [how]2 sweetly flows
That liquefaction of her clothes. 

Next, when I cast mine eyes, and see
That brave vibration each way free,
O how that glittering taketh me!

Available translations (or transliterations, if applicable):

    * ENG English (David Jonathan Justman) 

Elle a passé, la jeune fille
Vive et preste comme un oiseau:
À la main une fleur qui brille,
À la bouche un refrain nouveau.

C'est peut-être la seule au monde
Dont le coeur au mien répondrait,
Qui venant dans ma nuit profonde
D'un seul regard l'éclairerait!

Mais non, - ma jeunesse est finie...
Adieu, doux rayon qui m'as lui, -
Parfum, jeune fille, harmonie...
Le bonheur passait, - il a fui!

4. The Ancient Mariner

Language: English

Authorship 


It is an ancient Mariner, 
And he stoppeth one of three. 
"By thy long grey beard and glittering eye, 
Now wherefore stopp'st thou me?"
