Jonson, Ben: Amit láttam (It was a beauty that I saw in Hungarian)

Portre of Jonson, Ben

It was a beauty that I saw (English)

It was a beauty that I saw,

So pure, so perfect, as the frame

Of all the universe was lame

To that one figure, could I draw

Or give least line of it a law.

 

A skein of silk without a knot,

A fair march made without a halt,

A curious form without a fault,

A printed book without a blot:

All beauty, and without a spot.

Amit láttam (Hungarian)

Amit láttam, oly csodaszép,

oly tiszta, teljes, hogy körül

a mindenség elfeketül,

ha tudnék, ilyet festenék,

egy cseppje törvénynek elég.

 

Csomótalan matring selyem!

Botlástalan kecses szökés!

Szép egész, melyen nincs törés!

Jómívű könyv, szeplőtelen!

Szépség s nincs semmi híja sem!
