Английская поэзия XIV–XX веков в современных русских переводах

Jesus is risen from the infernal mire:

But who art thou that say’st Jesus arose?

Such holy words are only fit for those

Whose souls with Christ above the heavens aspire.

But if thou hast not raisèd thy desire

From earth to heaven, but in the world dost close

Thy love which unto heaven thou shouldst dispose,

Say not that Christ is yet ascended higher,

But yet within thy heart he lieth dead,

And by the devil is impoisonèd.

Rejoice not then in vain of his ascent;

For as his glorious rise doth much augment

All good men’s hopes, so unto those that tread

False paths, it is a dreadful argument.
