Sonnet II from William Percy, Sonnets to the Fairest Coelia. London, 1594. Versuch Übersetzung (Ines Langthaler)

Oh happie houre, and yet vnhappie houre,

When first by chaunce I had my goddesse vievved,

Then first I tasted of the svveetest soure,

Wherevvith the cup of Cypria is embrevved.

For gazing ferme vvithout suspition,

Loue coopt behind the charet of her eye,

Iustly to schoole my bold presumption,

Against my hart did let an arrow flie:

Faire sir, quoth he, to practise haue you nought

But to be gazing on deuinitie?

Before you part, your leare you shall be tought,

With that attonce he made his arrovves hie:

Imperious God, I did it not to loue her

Ah, stay thy hand, I did it but to proue her.

Oh glückliche Stunde, und doch unglückliche Stunde

Als ich bei Gelegenheit/ bei Glück das erste mal meine Göttin sah

Dann kostete ich zum ersten Mal die süßeste Säure

Mit der die Tasse der Venus verbrüht/ veräzt ist

Mit verlangendem Starren/ ohne Argwohn/Verdacht

Wurde die Liebe (entweder:ohne Notiz von ihr)/(oder: vom Liebreiz ihres Auges)gefesselt

Schließlich, um mich meiner dreisten Einstellung zu belehren

Entgegen meines Herzens ließest einen Pfeil fliegen

Herr, sprach er, um dir zu zeigen, dass du falsch liegst

Aber nach dieser Göttlichkeit zu verlangen?

Bevor du gehst, sollst du deine Lektion lernen

So ließ er umgehend seine Pfeile eilen

Gebietender Gott, Ich tat es nicht um sie zu lieben

Ah, halte ein (gebiete deiner Hand Einhalt), ich tat es nur um sie zu prüfen
