A Letter To Doctor Ingelo then With My Lord Whitlock Amba

...toi charissime transfuga coeli,
Ingele, proh sero cognite, rapte cito?
Num satis Hybernum defendis pellibus Astrum,
Qui modo tam mollis nec bene firmus eras?
Quae Gentes Hominum, quae sit Natura Locorum,
Sint Homines, potius dic ibi sintre Loca?
Num gravis horrisono Polus obruit omnia lapsu,
Jungitur & praeceps Mundas utraque nive?
An melius canis horrescit Campus Aristis,
Amuius Agricolis & redit Orbe labor?
Incolit, ut fertur, saevam Gens mitior Oram,
Pace vigil, Bello stre...Read more of this...

Epistles to Several Persons: Epistle IV To Richard Boyle

...Est brevitate opus, ut currat sententia, neu se 
Impediat verbis lassas onerantibus aures: 
Et sermone opus est modo tristi, saepe jocoso, 
Defendente vicem modo Rhetoris atque Poetae, 
Interdum urbani, parcentis viribus, atque
Extenuantis eas consulto.
(Horace, Satires, I, x, 17-22)
'Tis strange, the miser should his cares employ 
To gain those riches he can ne'er enjoy:
Is it less strange, the prodigal should waste
His wealth to purchase what he ne'er can taste?

Inferno (Italian)

...inta,

dissi: «Maestro, che ? quel ch'i' odo?

e che gent'? che par nel duol s? vinta?».

 Ed elli a me: «Questo misero modo

tegnon l'anime triste di coloro

che visser sanza 'nfamia e sanza lodo.

 Mischiate sono a quel cattivo coro

de li angeli che non furon ribelli

n? fur fedeli a Dio, ma per s? fuoro.

 Caccianli i ciel per non esser men belli,

n? lo profondo inferno li riceve,

ch'alcuna gloria i rei avrebber d'elli».

 E io: «Maestro, che ? tanto greve

"Master, what is it that I hear? Who are 
those people so defeated by their pain?" 


Ed elli a me: «Questo misero modo 
tegnon l'anime triste di coloro 
che visser sanza 'nfamia e sanza lodo . 

And he to me: "This miserable way 
is taken by the sorry souls of those 
who lived without disgrace and without praise. 


Mischiate sono a quel cattivo coro 
de li angeli che non furon ribelli 
n? fur fedeli a Dio, ma per s? fuoro .

Iuuentius Cycle

...O qui flosculus es Iuuentiorum,
non horum modo sed quot aut fuerunt
aut posthac aliis erunt in annis.
mallem diuitias Midae dedisses
isti cui neque seruus est neque arca
quam sic te sineres ab illo amari.
`Qui? Non est *****bellus?' inquies. Est:
sed bello huic neque seruus est neque arca.
Hoc tu quam libet abice eleuaque:
Nec seruum tamen ille habet neque arcam.

Paradiso (Italian)

...attro cerchi giugne con tre croci,
 con miglior corso e con migliore stella
esce congiunta, e la mondana cera
pi? a suo modo tempera e suggella.
 Fatto avea di l? mane e di qua sera
tal foce, e quasi tutto era l? bianco
quello emisperio, e l'altra parte nera,
 quando Beatrice in sul sinistro fianco
vidi rivolta e riguardar nel sole:
aquila s? non li s'affisse unquanco.
 E s? come secondo raggio suole
uscir del primo e risalire in suso,
pur come pelegrin che tornar vuole,

Purgatorio (Italian)

...poi cominciai: «Belacqua, a me non dole
 di te omai; ma dimmi: perché assiso
quiritto se'? attendi tu iscorta,
o pur lo modo usato t'ha' ripriso?».
 Ed elli: «O frate, andar in sù che porta?
ché non mi lascerebbe ire a' martìri
l'angel di Dio che siede in su la porta.
 Prima convien che tanto il ciel m'aggiri
di fuor da essa, quanto fece in vita,
perch'io 'ndugiai al fine i buon sospiri,
 se orazione in prima non m'aita
che surga sù di cuor che in grazia viva;
l'altra che val...Read more of this...

...Nec sterilem te crede; Licet, mulieribus exul,
