Ispanyol sair Jorge Manrique’in dogum yildonumu (24 Nisan 1479)
Sen ey , ilahi kader! —
Tam alevleri parlamisti ki ,
Yagmur yagdirdin ustune!
Deger bicilmez hazineleri,
Evleri ve arazileri,
Sonsuz gucu, —
Gozyaslarindan cok muydu bunların sayisi?
Yasaminin son anlarinda,
Engelleyebildiler mi ellerinin baglanmasini?
Ne kaldi onlarin gucunden
Ve kimsenin onune gecemedigi,
Sanli saltanatlarindan?
Goge dogru yukselirken dev alevleri,
Olumun amansiz eli gelip,
O buyuk atesi sondurmedi mi?
O Thou Divine Predestination!—
When most his blaze the world had filled
Thou sent'st the raining!
His treasures that defied accounting,
His manors and his feudal lands,
His boundless power,—
What more than tears were their amounting?
What more than bonds to tie his hands
At life's last hour?
And what of all their power and prize
That touched the very peaks of fame
That none could limit?—
A conflagration 'gainst the skies,
Till at its brightest ruthless came
Death's hand to dim it.
