Raleigh, Sir Walter: The Silent Lover

Portre of Raleigh, Sir Walter

The Silent Lover (English)

Passions are liken'd best to floods and streams:

The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb;

So, when affection yields discourse, it seems

The bottom is but shallow whence they come.

They that are rich in words, in words discover

That they are poor in that which makes a lover.

A szótlan szerelmes (Hungarian)

Mint a folyó, olyan a szenvedély;

csobog, ha sekély, de hallgat, ha mély;

a szerelem is, mig vígan cseveg,

elárulja, hogy nem mélyről ered.

Kinek szava sok, épp ezzel mutatja,

hogy mily kevés a szive indulatja.
