John Donne: Witchcraft By A Picture (English)

 
I fix mine eye on thine, and there 
Pity my picture burning in thine eye; 
My picture drowned in a transparent tear, 
When I look lower I espy. 
Hadst thou the wicked skill 
By pictures made and mard, to kill, 
How many ways mightst thou perform thy will? 

But now I have drunk thy sweet salt tears, 
And though thou pour more I'll depart; 
My picture vanished, vanish fears 
That I can be endamaged by that art; 
Though thou retain of me 
One picture more, yet that will be, 
Being in thine own heart, from all malice free.

John Donne: Sorcellerie Par Une Image (French)

 
Je fixe l'oeil de mine sur le thine, et là plaindre mon image 
brûlant dans l'oeil de thine; Mon image s'est noyée dans une larme 
transparente, quand je me regarde plus bas aperçois. Le thou de Hadst 
la compétence mauvaise par des images faites et mard, pour tuer, thou 
de mightst de combien de manières exécutent thy  ? 

Mais maintenant j'ai bu les larmes douces thy de sel, et bien que le 
thou versent plus je partirai; Mon image a disparu, disparaît des 
craintes que je peux être endamaged par cet art; Bien que le thou 
maintiennent de moi une image davantage, pourtant ce sera, en étant 
dans le thine posséder le coeur, de toute la méchanceté libre.

John Donne: Witchcraft Por um Retrato (Portuguese)

 
Eu reparo o olho de mina no thine, e lá pity meu retrato que 
queima-se no olho do thine; Meu retrato afogou-se em um rasgo 
transparente, quando eu me olho mais baixo espy. Mil de Hadst a 
habilidade má pelos retratos feitos e pelo mard, para matar, mil do 
mightst de quantas maneiras executa thy ? 

Mas eu tenho bebido agora rasgos doces thy de sal, e embora mil 
derrama mais eu partirei; Meu retrato desapareceu, desaparece medos 
que eu posso ser endamaged por essa arte; Embora mil retem de mim um 
retrato mais, contudo aquele será, estando no thine possuir o 
coração, de todo o malice livre.

Juan Donne: Brujería Por Un Cuadro (Spanish)

 
Fijo el ojo de mina en thine, y allí pity mi cuadro que se quema en 
ojo del thine; Mi cuadro se ahogó en un rasgón transparente, cuando 
me miro más bajo espy. ¿Mil de Hadst la habilidad traviesa por los 
cuadros hechos y mard, para matar, mil del mightst de cuántas maneras 
realiza thy ? 

Pero ahora he bebido los rasgones dulces thy de la sal, y aunque mil 
vierte más saldré; Mi cuadro desapareció, desaparece miedos que 
puedo ser endamaged por ese arte; Aunque mil conserva de mí un cuadro 
más, con todo será ése, estando en thine poseer el corazón, de 
toda la maldad libre.
