John Donne: Elegy VII (English)

 
Nature's lay idiot, I taught thee to love, 
And in that sophistry, Oh, thou dost prove 
Too subtle: Foole, thou didst not understand 
The mystic language of the eye nor hand: 
Nor couldst thou judge the difference of the air 
Of sighs, and say, This lies, this sounds despair: 
Nor by th' eyes water call a malady 
Desperately hot, or changing feverously. 
I had not taught thee, then, the Alphabet 
Of flowers, how they devisefully being set 
And bound up might with speechless secrecy 
Deliver errands mutely, and mutually. 
Remember since all thy words used to be 
To every suitor, Ay, if my friends agree; 
Since, household charms, thy husband's name to teach, 
Were all the love tricks that thy wit could reach; 
And since, an hour's discourse could scarce have made 
One answer in thee, and that ill arrayed 
In broken proverbs and torn sentences. 
Thou art not by so many duties his, 
That from the world's Common having severed thee, 
Inlaid thee, neither to be seen, nor see, 
As mine: who have with amorous delicacies 
Refined thee into a blisful Paradise. 
Thy graces and good words my creatures be; 
I planted knowledge and life's tree in thee, 
Which Oh, shall strangers taste? Must I alas 
Frame and enamel plate, and drink in glass? 
Chaf wax for others' seals? break a colt's force 
And leave him then, being made a ready horse?

John Donne: Élégie VII (French)

 
L'idiot de la configuration de la nature, j'ai enseigné le thee pour 
aimer, et du fait le sophisme, OH, dost de thou prouvent trop 
subtile: Foole, didst de thou ne pas comprendre la langue mystique de 
l'oeil ni de la main: Ni le juge de thou de couldst la différence 
d'air des soupirs, et la parole, ceci se trouve, ceci retentit le 
désespoir: Ni yeux par Th les 'arrosent l'appel une maladie 
désespérément chaude, ou changeante feverously. Je n'avais pas 
enseigné le thee, puis, l'alphabet des fleurs, comment ils 
devisefully étant placés et liés pourraient avec le secret sans 
voix fournir des courses silencieusement, et mutuellement. Se rappeler 
depuis tous les mots thy a employé pour être à chaque prétendant, 
Ay, si mes amis conviennent; Puisque, le ménage charme, le nom du 
mari thy à enseigner, étaient tous les tours d'amour que l'esprit 
thy pourrait atteindre; Et puisque, le discours d'une heure pourrait 
rare avoir fait une réponse dans le thee, et cette défectuosité a 
rangé dans des proverbes cassés et des phrases déchirées. L'art de 
thou pas par tant de fonctions sien, cela de commun du monde ayant 
divisé le thee, n'a marqueté le thee, ni pour être vu, ni voit, en 
tant que mien: qui ont avec le thee de raffinage par délicatesses 
amoureuses dans un paradis blisful. Les graces de Thy et les bons mots 
mes créatures soient; J'ai planté la connaissance et l'arbre de la 
vie dans le thee, que l'OH,  des étrangers goûtent ? Est-ce que vue 
et l'émail de I hélas doivent boivent plaquer, et en verre ? Cire de 
Chaf pour d'autres joints ? casser la force d'un colt et puis le 
laisser, en étant fait un cheval prêt ?

John Donne: Elegy VII (Portuguese)

 
Idiot da configuração da natureza, eu ensinei o thee para amar, e 
que a sofisma, Oh, dost de mil prova demasiado subtle: Foole, didst de 
mil para não compreender a língua mystic do olho nem da mão: Nem o 
juiz de mil do couldst a diferença do ar dos sighs, e a palavra, esta 
encontram-se, isto soam o desespero: Nem os olhos pelo th ' molham a 
chamada um malady desesperadamente quente, ou mudando feverously. Eu 
não tinha ensinado o thee, então, o alfabeto das flores, como 
devisefully que estão sendo ajustados e limitados acima do poder com 
secrecy speechless entregam errands mutely, e mutuamente. Recordar 
desde todas as palavras thy usou-se ser a cada suitor, Ay, se meus 
amigos concordarem; Desde que, a casa charms, o nome do marido thy a 
ensinar, era todos os truques do amor que a sagacidade thy poderia 
alcançar; E desde que, o discurso de uma hora poderia escasso ter 
feito uma resposta no thee, e esse mal pôs em proverbs quebrados e em 
sentenças rasgadas. A arte de mil não por assim muitos deveres his, 
aquele de comum do mundo que severed o thee, embutiu o thee, nem para 
ser vista, nem vê-o, como minhas: quem têm com delicacies amorous o 
thee refinado em um paradise blisful. Os graces de Thy e as palavras 
boas minhas criaturas sejam; Eu plantei o conhecimento e árvore da 
vida no thee, que o Oh, deve desconhecido provam? Devem o quadro e o 
esmalte de I alas chapear, e bebem no vidro? Cera de Chaf para outros 
selos? quebrar a força de um colt e deixá-lo então, sendo feito um 
cavalo pronto?

Juan Donne: Elegy VII (Spanish)

 
El idiota de la endecha de la naturaleza, enseñé thee para amar, y 
en que la sofisma, Oh, dost de mil prueba demasiado sutil: Foole, 
didst de mil no entender la lengua mística del ojo ni de la mano: Ni 
el juez de mil del couldst la diferencia del aire de suspiros, y la 
opinión, ésta miente, esto suena la desesperación: Ni por ojos del 
th los ' riegan llamada un malady desesperadamente caliente, o 
cambiando feverously. No había enseñado thee, entonces, el alfabeto 
de flores, cómo devisefully que eran fijados y vendados puede ser que 
con secreto sin habla entreguen diligencias mudamente, y mutuamente. 
Recordar desde todas las palabras thy utilizó estar a cada 
pretendiente, Ay, si mis amigos convienen; Puesto que, la casa 
encanta, el nombre del marido thy a enseñar, era todos los trucos del 
amor que el ingenio thy podría alcanzar; Y puesto que, el discurso de 
una hora habría podido escaso hacer una respuesta en thee, y esa 
enfermedad puso en orden en proverbios quebrados y oraciones rasgadas. 
El arte de mil no por tan muchos deberes el suyo, de que de común del 
mundo que separaba thee, embutió thee, ni para ser considerado, ni 
considera, como el mío: quiénes tienen con thee refinado las 
delicadezas amorosas en un paraíso blisful. Las tolerancias de Thy y 
las buenas palabras mis criaturas sean; ¿Planté conocimiento y el 
árbol de la vida en el thee, que el Oh,  los extranjeros probaban? 
¿Deben el capítulo y el esmalte de I alas platear, y beben en 
cristal? ¿Cera de Chaf para otros sellos? ¿romper una fuerza del 
potro y después dejarlo, siendo hecho un caballo listo?
