Already would they pass their life, hedged round
By the strong towers; and
cultivate
an earth
All portioned out and boundaried; already
Would the sea flower and sail-winged ships;
Already men had, under treaty pacts,
Confederates and allies, when poets began
To hand heroic actions down in verse;
Nor long ere this had letters been devised--
Hence is our age unable to look back
On what has gone before, except where reason
Shows us a footprint.

Corneille - Le Cid |

Moi, je cours avec eux assommer les mouchards:
Et je vais dans Paris, noir, marteau sur l'epaule,
Farouche, a chaque coin
balayant
quelque drole,
Et, si tu me riais au nez, je te tuerais!

Ah, never with a throat that aches with song,
Beneath the white
uncaring
sky of spring,
Shall I go forth to hide awhile from Love
The quiver and the crying of my heart.

Ma ne di Tebe furie ne troiane
si vider mai in alcun tanto crude,
non punger bestie, nonche membra umane,
quant' io vidi in due ombre smorte e nude,
che mordendo
correvan
di quel modo
che 'l porco quando del porcil si schiude.

Euripides - Alcestis |

Stern Hassan only from his horse
Disdains
to light, and keeps his course,
Till fiery flashes in the van
Proclaim too sure the robber-clan 590
Have well secured the only way
Could now avail the promised prey;
Then curled his very beard[96] with ire,
And glared his eye with fiercer fire;
"Though far and near the bullets hiss,
I've scaped a bloodier hour than this.
