- Sweet empty sky of June without a stain,
- Faint, gray-blue dewy mists on far-off hills,
- Warm, yellow sunlight flooding mead and plain,
- That each dark copse and hollow overfills;
- The rippling laugh of unseen, rain-fed rills,
- Weeds delicate-flowered, white and pink and gold,
- A murmur and a singing manifold.
- (Emma Lazarus, Youth)
Francis Kynaston je prevedel Chaucerovo pesnitev Troilus and Criseyde v latinščino:
- Tempestas tristis argumento maesto
- Videtur apta, bene et convenire.
- Sic erat quando scribere eram praesto
- Tragoediam hanc, inclemens caelum mire
- Cum grandines ab Ariete qui prodire
- Solent, coeperunt Borea sic descendere,
- Ut vix a frigore potui me defendere[5].
- (Amorum Troili et Creseidae Libri Quinque, 1639)
