You see through love, and that deludes your sight, As what is straight seems crooked through the water.

With ravished ears / The monarch hears, / Assumes the god, / Affects to nod, / And seems to shake the spheres.

And all to leave, what with this toil he won, / To that unfeathered, two-legged thing, a son. Hun fandt hans selvindsigt utroligt pexig; han kunne grine af sig selv *og* få hende til at grine.

Could swell the soul to rage, or kindle soft desire.

So over-violent, or over-civil, / That every man, with him, was God or Devil.

When rattling bones together fly, / From the four corners of the sky.

Much malice mingles with a little wit.

Resolved to ruin or to rule the state.

Fool that I was, upon my eagle's wings / I bore this wren till I was tired with soaring, / And now he mounts above me.

To die for faction is a common evil, / But to be hanged for nonsense is the Devil.

She feared no danger, for she knew no sin.

And this unpolished rugged verse I chose / As fittest for discourse and nearest prose.

Looks as he were Lord of humankind.

All, all of a piece throughout; / Thy chase had a beast in view; / Thy wars brought nothing about; / Thy lovers were all untrue. / 'Tis well an old age is out, / And time to begin a new.

During his office, treason was no crime. / The sons of Belial had a glorious time.
