Майкл Дрейтон (Michael Drayton) Текст оригинала на английском языке Sonnet 32. Our Flood's-Queen Thames To the River Anker OUR floods’ queen, Thames, for ships and swans is crowned; And stately Severn for her shore is praised; The crystal Trent for fords and fish renowned, And Avon’s fame to Albion’s cliffs is raised. Carlegion-Chester vaunts her holy Dee; York many wonders of her Ouse can tell; The Peak her Dove, whose banks so fertile be, And Kent will say her Medway doth excel. Cotswold commends her Isis to the Thame; Our northern borders boast of Tweed’s fair flood; Our western parts extol their Welly’s fame, And the old Lea brags of the Danish blood. Arden’s sweet Anker, let thy glory be, That fair Idea only lives by thee. |
