Читать книгу Unquenchable thirst of love… - Михаил Годов - Страница 18

Here are again love's traps and tricks

Predicting them is not so easy.

Which stranger's face can love depict:

Of meretrix or the Mona Lisa?

And even if you're duke of Guise

Even if you're as smart as a whip

Then all the same the lovely whims

You will fulfill and act likewise:

Along the ledge you'll go, so pleasing

And sign so tender serenades,

And kiss her footprints and her shade

In Paris, London, or in Piza…

Amour, you'll finally take your crop

Love is the thing you can't fend off.
