VENUS & ADONIS	VENUS i ADONIS
E’en as the Sun with purple-coloured face Had ta’en his last leave of the weeping morn, Rose-cheeked Adonis hied him to the chase; –hunting he loved, but love he laughed yo scorn–. Sick-thoughted Venus makes amain unto him, And like a bold-faced suitor ‘gins to woo him. ‘Thrice fairer than myself,’ thus she began, ‘The field’s chief flower, sweet above compare, Stain to all nymphs, more lovely than a man, More white and red than doves or roses are: Nature that made thee, with herself at strife, Saith that the world had ending with thy life.’	Així que el Sol de rostre purpurí va abandonar l’aurora enmig de plors, el jove Adonis va sortir a caçar -caçava molt; prò es reia de l’amor… Llavors arriba Venus, tota encesa, i el pretén seduir tant sí com no: «Oh tu, tres cops més atractiu que jo! Flor principal del camp, rara dolçor que eclipses la bellesa de les nimfes, del blanc colom i la vermella rosa: qui et va crear, veient el resultat, va dir: ‘Després de tu, la fi del món’.

VENUS & ADONIS

VENUS i ADONIS

E’en as the Sun with purple-coloured face
Had ta’en his last leave of the weeping morn,
Rose-cheeked Adonis hied him to the chase;
–hunting he loved, but love he laughed yo scorn–.
Sick-thoughted Venus makes amain unto him,
And like a bold-faced suitor ‘gins to woo him.

‘Thrice fairer than myself,’ thus she began,
‘The field’s chief flower, sweet above compare,
Stain to all nymphs, more lovely than a man,
More white and red than doves or roses are:
Nature that made thee, with herself at strife,
Saith that the world had ending with thy life.’

Així que el Sol de rostre purpurí
va abandonar l’aurora enmig de plors,
el jove Adonis va sortir a caçar
-caçava molt; prò es reia de l’amor…
Llavors arriba Venus, tota encesa,
i el pretén seduir tant sí com no:

«Oh tu, tres cops més atractiu que jo!
Flor principal del camp, rara dolçor
que eclipses la bellesa de les nimfes,
del blanc colom i la vermella rosa:
qui et va crear, veient el resultat,
va dir: ‘Després de tu, la fi del món’.
