The Sonnets Of Tommaso Campanella - On The Sepulchre Of Christ. No. 2.

Topics: classic

Quinci impara a stupirti.     Here bend in boundless wonder; bow your head:             Think how God's deathless Mind, that men might be             Robed in celestial immortality             (O Love divine!), in flesh was raimented:     How He was killed and buried; from the dead             How He arose to life with victory,             And reigned in heaven; how all of us shall be             Glorious like Him whose hearts to His are wed:     How they who die for love of reason, give             Hypocrites, tyrants, sophists--all who sell             Their neighbours ill for holiness--to hell:     How the dead saint condemns the bad who live;             How all he does becomes a law for men;             How he at last to judge shall come again!
