Томас Эркарт (Thomas Urquhart)




Текст оригинала на английском языке

Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 10. The best wits, once depraved, become the most impious


THe whitest Lawne receives the deepest moale:
The purest Chrysolit is soonest stained:
So without grace, the most ingenious soule,
Is with the greatest wickednesse profaned:
And the more edge it have, apply'd to sin,
Where it should spare, it cuts the deeper in.
