8. In a grove most rich of shade Guillaume Tessier Sir Philip Sidney

   In a grove most rich of shade

   Guillaume Tessier

   Sir Philip Sidney

   Astrophil with Stella sweet Did for mutual comfort meet, Both within themselves oppressed, But each in the other blessed. Him great harms had taught much care, Her fair neck a foul yoke bare ; But her sight his cares did banish, In his sight her yoke did vanish. Wept they had, alas the while, But now tears themselves did smile, While their eyes, by love directed, Interchangeably reflected. Sigh they did, but now betwixt Sighs of woe were glad sighs mixt ; With arms crossed, yet testifying Restless rest, and living dying. Their ears hungry of each word Which the dear tongue would afford ; But their tongues restrained from walking, Till their hearts had ended talking. But when their tongues could not speak, Love itself did silence break : Love did set his lips asunder, Thus to speak in love and wonder. “ Stella, sovereign of my joy, Fair triumpher of annoy ; Stella, star of heavenly fire, Stella, lodestar of desire ; “ Stella, whose voice, when it speaks, Senses all asunder breaks ; Stella, whose voice, when it singeth, Angels to acquaintance bringeth ; “ Stella, in whose body is Writ each character of bliss ; Whose face all, all beauty passeth, Save thy mind, which yet surpasseth ; @ “ Grant, O grant ; but speech, alas, Fails me, fearing on to pass : Grant-O me, what am I saying? But no fault there is in praying. “ Grant, O dear! on knees I pray” (Knees on ground he then did stay), “ That, not I, but since I love you, Time and place for me may move you. “ Never season was more fit, Never room more apt for it ; Smiling air allows my reason ; These birds sing : now use the season. “ This small wind, which so sweet is, See how it the leaves doth kiss ; Each tree in his best attiring, Sense of love to love inspiring. “ Love makes earth the water drink, Love to earth makes water sink ; And, if dumb things be so witty, Shall a heavenly grace want pity?” There his hands, in their speech, fain Would have made tongue's language plain ; But her hands, his hands repelling, Gave repulse, all grace excelling. Then she spake ; her speech was such, As not ears, but heart did touch ; While such wise she love denied, As yet love she signified. “ Astrophel,” said she, “ my love, Cease, in these effects, to prove ; Now be still, yet still believe me, Thy grief more than death would grieve me. “ If that any thought in me Can taste comfort but of thee, Let me, fed with hellish anguish, Joyless, hopeless, endless languish.

12. Si le parler et le silence Pierre Guédron

    Si le parler et le silence

    Pierre Guédron

    Si le parler et le silence nuit à notre heur également, parlons donc, ma chère espérance, du coeur et des yeux seulement; Amour ce petit dieu volage nous apprend ce muet langage. Que le regard vole et revole, messager des nos passions, et serve au lieu de la parole pour dire nos intentions. Amour ce petit dieu volage nous apprend ce muet langage. @ Mais si quelque âme est offencée de nous voir discourir des yeux, nous parlérons de la pensée, comme les anges dans les cieux. Amour ce petit dieu volage nous apprend ce muet langage. Ainsi par un doux artifice nous trompérons les courtisans, et nous rirons de la malice de mille fâcheux médisans, Qui n'en sauront pas d'avantage ignorant, ce muet langage.
