Translations
From the Spanish. Sonnets. I. The Good Shepherd
(El Buen Pastor) By Lope de Vega
The five following sonnets are from the Coplas de Manrique volume, where they were printed with the Spanish text on the opposite pages. Two other sonnets in that volume, not retained when the volume was merged in Voices of the Night, will be found in the Appendix. The two Lope de Vega sonnets are from his Rimas Sacras.
SHEPHERD! who with thine amorous, sylvan song
Hast broken the slumber that encompassed me,
Who mad’st thy crook from the accursed tree,
On which thy powerful arms were stretched so long!
