John Milton: On Time (English)

 
Fly envious Time, till thou run out thy race, 
Call on the lazy leaden-stepping hours, 
Whose speed is but the heavy Plummets pace; 
And glut thy self with what thy womb devours, 
Which is no more then what is false and vain, 
And meerly mortal dross; 
So little is our loss, 
So little is thy gain. 
For when as each thing bad thou hast entomb'd, 
And last of all, thy greedy self consum'd,                            
Then long Eternity shall greet our bliss 
With an individual kiss; 
And Joy shall overtake us as a flood, 
When every thing that is sincerely good 
And perfectly divine, 
With Truth, and Peace, and Love shall ever shine 
About the supreme Throne 
Of him, t'whose happy-making sight alone, 
When once our heav'nly-guided soul shall clime, 
Then all this Earthy grosnes quit,                                    
Attir'd with Stars, we shall for ever sit, 
Triumphing over Death, and Chance, and thee O Time.

John Milton: À l'heure (French)

 
Le temps envieux de mouche, jusqu'à la course thy épuisée par thou, 
invitent les heures paresseuses d'de plomb-progression, dont la 
vitesse est mais le lourd descend pas; Et individu thy de 
surabondance avec quel utérus thy dévore, qui est puis ce qui est 
faux et vain, et crasse meerly mortelle; Tellement peu est notre 
perte, ainsi peu est gain thy. Pour quand en tant que chaque mauvais 
entomb'd de hast de thou de chose, et en dernier lieu, le consum'd 
avide thy d'individu, désirent ardemment alors l'éternité saluera 
notre bonheur avec un baiser individuel; Et la joie nous rattrapera 
comme inondation, quand chaque chose qui est sincèrement bonne et 
devine parfaitement, avec la vérité, et la paix, et amour brilleront 
jamais au sujet du trône suprême de lui, vue defabrication de 
t'whose seule, quand une fois que notre âme heav'nly-guidée 
région, puis tout ce les grosnes terreux a stoppé, Attir'd avec des 
étoiles, nous pour jamais se reposera, triomphant avec la mort, et la 
chance, et le temps du thee O.

John Milton: Rechtzeitig (German)

 
Fliege envious Zeit, bis Thou laufen gelassenes heraus thy Rennen, 
ersuchen um die faulen leaden-Treten Stunden, deren Geschwindigkeit 
ist, aber das schwere Schritt absinkt; Und thy Selbst- der Sättigung 
mit welcher thy Geb5rmutter verschlingt, die nicht dann ist, was 
falsch und nichtig ist und meerly Todabfall; So wenig ist unser 
Verlust, also ist wenig thy Gewinn. Für, wenn als jedes Sache 
schlechte Thou hast entomb'd und zuallerletzt, thy gieriges 
Selbstconsum'd, sich dann sehnen, Ewigkeit grüßt unser 
Glückzasz mit einem einzelnen Kuß; Und Freude überholt uns als 
Flut, wenn jede Sache, die herzlichst gut ist und tadellos, mit 
Wahrheit und Frieden erahnt und Liebe überhaupt über den Obersten 
Thron von ihm glänzen, alleint'whose der glücklich-bildende 
Anblick, wenn, sobald unsere heav'nly-geführte Seele Gegend soll, 
dann dieses beendigte ganzes erdige grosnes, Attir'd mit Sternen, wir 
für überhaupt sitzt, Triumphing über Tod und Wahrscheinlichkeit und 
thee O Zeit.

John Milton: No Tempo (Portuguese)

 
O tempo envious da mosca, até a raça thy para fora funcionada mil, 
convida as horas preguiçosas leaden-pisar, cuja a velocidade é mas o 
pesado plummets ritmo; E self thy do glut com que womb thy devours, 
que é mais então o que é falso e vão, e dross meerly mortal; Assim 
pouco é nossa perda, assim que pouco é ganho thy. Para quando como 
cada entomb'd mau do hast de mil da coisa, e último de tudo, o 
consum'd greedy thy do self, long então o eternity cumprimentará 
nosso bliss com um beijo individual; E a alegria alcançar-nos-á como 
uma inundação, quando cada coisa que é sincerely boa e divine 
perfeitamente, com verdade, e paz, e o amor brilharão sempre sobre o 
throne supremo dele, vista feliz-fazendo do t'whose sozinha, quando 
uma vez que nossa alma heav'nly-guiada deve clime, a seguir todo este 
grosnes earthy parou, Attir'd com estrelas, nós para sempre 
sentar-se-á, triunfando sobre a morte, e a possibilidade, e o tempo 
do thee O.

Juan Milton: El Tiempo (Spanish)

 
El tiempo envidioso de la mosca, hasta hacia fuera la raza thy 
funcionada mil, invita las horas perezosas el de plomo-caminar, que es 
velocidad pero cae a plomo el pesado paso; Y uno mismo thy de la 
superabundancia con qué matriz thy devours, que es más entonces 
cuál es falso e inútil, y escoria meerly mortal; Tan poco es nuestra 
pérdida, así que poco es aumento thy. Para cuando como cada mal 
entomb'd del hast de mil de la cosa, y pasado de todos, el consum'd 
codicioso thy del uno mismo, entonces desea la eternidad saludará 
nuestra dicha con un beso individual; Y la alegría nos alcanzará 
como inundación, cuando cada cosa que es sinceramente buena y adivina 
perfectamente, con verdad, y paz, y el amor brillarán siempre sobre 
el trono supremo de él, vista de feliz-fabricacio'n del t'whose sola, 
cuando una vez que nuestra alma heav'nly-dirigida  clime, después 
todo este los grosnes terrosos paró, Attir'd con las estrellas, 
nosotros para siempre se sentará, triunfando sobre muerte, y la 
ocasión, y el tiempo del thee O.
