The Sonnets Of Tommaso Campanella - The Millennium.

Topics: classic

Non piaccia a Dio.     Nay, God forbid that mid these tragic throes             To idle comedy my thought should bend,             When torments dire and warning woes portend             Of this our world the instantaneous close!     The day approaches which shall discompose             All earthly sects, the elements shall blend             In utter ruin, and with joy shall send             Just spirits to their spheres in heaven's repose.     The Highest comes in Holy Land to hold             His sovran court and synod sanctified,             As all the psalms and prophets have foretold:     The riches of his grace He will spread wide             Through his own realm, that seat and chosen fold             Of worship and free mercies multiplied.
