Shakespearian- French, Laura

L, thou art awesolent
"It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
As a rich jewel in a Ethiop's ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear."
thou art not see'th thou own beauty?
1) ta le coeur est comme ca briller une l'etoile
how est thou beauty unseen?
thou art seem dark as night
but I see'th thy light
2) comme ca le survivant fleurir dans la sicheresse
thou art a great friend
thy couldn't possibly ask for a better one
3) J'amier beaucoup l'amie, L!

ok this is the meaning for the french words. 
1) your heart is like a shinning star 
2) like a surviving flower in a drought 
3) I love my friend, L a lot

It's all Greek to me, heck I have trouble with english sometimes. I took one semester of spanish in college, but I only remember a few cuss words that I picked up at Churchill Downs while amongst my mexican friends. the piece you wrote sounds splendid since you explained what the french meant. I like it. thanks for sharing..Lawrence in Lou.Ky.
