UFrancisco de Quevedo
Ingavala amehlo ami
isithunzi, ukuthi usuku olumhlophe luzongithatha;
futhi ngizokwazi ukudedela lo mphefumulo wami
ihora, ekulangazeleleni kwakhe okukhohlisayo:
izoshiya inkumbulo, lapho yasha khona;
ukubhukuda kwazi ilangabi lami amanzi abandayo,
emithanjeni, yeka ihlaya emlilweni ongaka abawunikile,
imishado, eshile ngokukhazimulayo;
Bazoba umlotha, kodwa kuzoba nengqondo;
bayoba uthuli, kube nothuli oluningi othandweni.

IGarcilaso de la Vega
I-Sonnet V
Isenzo sakho sibhaliwe emphefumulweni wami,
nokuthi ngifuna ukubhala okungakanani ngawe;
uyibhale wedwa, ngiyifundile
ngingedwa, ukuthi ngisho nani ngizigcine ngikulokhu.
Kulokhu engikhona futhi ngiyohlala ngikhona;
ukuthi noma ngingalingani ukuthi ngibona kangakanani kuwe
Ngicabanga okuhle kakhulu engingakuqondi
esivele ithathe ukholo isabelomali.
Angizalwanga ngaphandle kokukuthanda;
umphefumulo wami ukukusikile esilinganisweni sawo;
ngenxa yomkhuba womphefumulo uqobo ngiyakuthanda.
Lapho nginakho ngiyavuma ngiyakukweleta;
Ngazalelwa wena, ngiphila wena,
ngifela wena, futhi ngifela wena.

IGutierre de Cetina
Amehlo acwebile, ahlelekile (Madrigal)
Amehlo acwebile, ahlelekile
uma unconywa ngokubukeka okumnandi,
Kungani, uma ungibuka, ubukeka uthukuthele?
Uma abakholwa ngokwengeziwe,
ubukeka umuhle kakhulu kulowo okubukayo,
ungangibuki ngentukuthelo,
ngoba awubukeki umuhle kangako.
O, ukuhlukunyezwa okufuthekayo!
Amehlo acwebile, ahlelekile
njengoba ungibuka ngaleyo ndlela, ungibheke okungenani.

URosalia de Castro
Bathi izitshalo azikhulumi, noma imithombo, noma izinyoni
Bathi izitshalo azikhulumi, noma imithombo, noma izinyoni,
Akaziphakamisi ngamahemuhemu akhe, noma ngokukhanya kwakhe izinkanyezi
Bayakusho, kepha akulona iqiniso, ngoba njalo lapho ngidlula,
Ngami bayabubula futhi bayamemeza:
Lapho kuyahlanya kuyaphupha
Ngentwasahlobo yaphakade yempilo namasimu,
Futhi kungekudala, kungekudala, izinwele zakhe zizompunga,
Futhi uyabona, ethuthumela, egodole, lelo qhwa limboza idlelo.
Kukhona izinwele ezimpunga ekhanda lami, kukhona isithwathwa emadlelweni,
Kepha ngiyaqhubeka nokuphupha, ngihlupheka, ngihamba ngingalali,
Ngentwasahlobo yaphakade yempilo ecinyiwe
Nokuqabuka okungapheli kwamasimu nemiphefumulo,
Yize ezinye zibunile kanti yize ezinye zishisiwe.
Izinkanyezi nemithombo nezimbali, ungakhonondi ngamaphupho ami,
Ngaphandle kwazo, ungakuncoma kanjani noma ungaphila kanjani ngaphandle kwazo?

Rudyard Kipling
Yebo…
Uma ukwazi ukugcina ikhanda lakho lapho konke okuzungezile
ulahlekelwe okwakho futhi bakusole ngakho;
Uma ungazethemba lapho wonke umuntu ekungabaza,
kodwa futhi uyavuma ukungabaza kwabo;
Uma ungakwazi ukulinda ngaphandle kokukhathala ukulinda,
noma, lapho ukhohliswa, ungakhokhi ngamanga,
noma, sizondwa, singavumeli inzondo,
futhi nokho kungabonakali kukuhle kakhulu, noma kukhulume ngokuhlakanipha okukhulu;
Uma ukwazi ukuphupha -ungenzi amaphupho uthisha wakho;
Uma ukwazi ukucabanga-futhi ungenzi imicabango ibe umgomo wakho;
Uma ungahlangabezana nokunqoba nenhlekelele
Futhi phatha labo bakhohlisi ababili ngokufana ncamashi
Uma ukwazi ukubekezelela ukuzwa iqiniso olikhulumile
isontekile ngababi ukwenza isicupho sesiwula,
Noma ubone izinto eziphukile ozibeke empilweni yakho
futhi ugobe futhi uwakhe kabusha ngamathuluzi agugile;
Uma ungenza okuningi ngakho konke ukuwina kwakho
bese uyibeka engozini yokushaywa yithuba,
futhi ulahlekelwe, uqale phansi ekuqaleni
futhi ungalokothi usho izwi ngokulahleka kwakho;
Uma ungakwazi ukuhluza inhliziyo yakho nezinzwa nemisipha
ukudlala ithuba lakho isikhathi eside ngemuva kokuthi zisetshenzisiwe
ngakho-ke ikugcine lapho kungekho lutho olusele ngaphakathi kuwe
ngaphandle kweWill ethi kubo: "Melana!"
Uma ukwazi ukukhuluma nezixuku futhi ugcine ubuhle bakho
noma uhambe namakhosi futhi ungalahlekelwa ukuqonda;
Uma kungekho zitha noma abangane abathandekayo abangakulimaza;
Uma bonke bethembele kuwe, kodwa akekho kakhulu;
Uma ungagcwalisa umzuzu ongenakulibaleka
nohambo lwemizuzwana eyigugu engamashumi ayisithupha.
Owakho umhlaba nakho konke okukuwo,
futhi - ngaphezu kwalokho - uzoba yiNdoda, ndodana yami!

Ngezinsuku ezinhle zakudala (Auld Lang Syne)
Kufanele bakhohlwe abangane bakudala
futhi ungalokothi ubakhumbule?
Kufanele bakhohlwe abangane bakudala
nezinsuku zakudala?
Ngezinsuku zakudala mngani wami
ngezikhathi zakudala:
sizoba nengilazi yobudlelwano
ngezikhathi zakudala.
Sobabili sigijimele phansi emithambekeni
ngakhipha ama-daisy amahle,
kodwa besinephutha kakhulu ngezinyawo ezibuhlungu
kusukela ezinsukwini zakudala.
Ngezinsuku zakudala mngani wami
ngezikhathi zakudala:
sizoba nengilazi yobudlelwano
ngezikhathi zakudala.
Sobabili siwele umfula
kusukela emini kuze kube kusihlwa,
kodwa ulwandle olubanzi lubhongile phakathi kwethu
kusukela ezinsukwini zakudala.
Ngezinsuku zakudala mngani wami
ngezikhathi zakudala:
sizoba nengilazi yobudlelwano
ngezikhathi zakudala.
Nasi isandla, mngane wami othembekile,
futhi usinike esinye sezandla zakho,
futhi ake siphuze ubhiya kamnandi
ngezikhathi zakudala!
Ngezinsuku zakudala mngani wami
ngezikhathi zakudala:
sizoba nengilazi yobudlelwano
ngezikhathi zakudala.
Futhi impela uzokhokhela isiphuzo sakho.
Futhi ngineqiniso lokuthi ngizokhokha elami ...
Futhi, noma kunjalo ... sizoba naleso siphuzo sobudlelwano
ngezikhathi zakudala!
