Томас Эркарт (Thomas Urquhart)




Текст оригинала на английском языке

Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 17. How generous a thing it is, not to succumbe to pleasure, and sensualitie


NO great exploit can be expected from
That man, who being profoundly plung'd in his
Owne sense, permits himselfe to be o'rcome
B' a foe s'effeminat, as pleasure is;
For mightie minds most pleasures doe conceive,
When pleasures over them no power have.
