Let now the chimneys blaze And cups o'erflow with wine, Let well-tuned words amaze With harmony divine !

This time doth well dispense With lovers' long discourse ; Much speech hath some defence, Though beauty no remorse.
Página 228 - Athčnes me montra mon superbe ennemi. Je le vis, je rougis, je pâlis ŕ sa vue; Un trouble s'éleva dans mon âme éperdue; Mes yeux ne voyaient plus, je ne pouvais parler; 275 Je sentis tout mon corps et transir et brűler; Je reconnus Vénus et ses feux redoutables, D'un sang qu'elle poursuit tourments inévitables.
