This is one of my favorite poems. It was originally written in Latin by Catullus (84?- 54? BC), a famous poet from ancient Rome, but was translated into old english by Richard Crashaw some time in the 1600's.
ReplyDeleteCome and let us live my Deare,
Let us love and never feare,
What the sowrest Fathers say:
Brightest Sol that dyes to day
Lives againe as blith to morrow,
But if we darke sons of sorrow
Set, then, how long a Night
Shuts the Eyes of our short light!
Then let amorous kisses dwell
On our lips, begin and tell
A Thousand, and a Hundred, score
an Hundred, and a Thousand more,
Till another Thousand smother
That, and that wipe off another.
Thus at last when we have numbered
Many a Thousand, many a Hundred;
Wee'l confound the reckoning quite,
And lose our selves in wild delight:
While our joyes so multiply,
As shall mocke the envious eye.
RICHARD CRASHAW (1612/3 - 1649)
These are just some favorite sayings by Bob Marley
