Guido, I would that Lapo, thou, and I, <br />Led by some strong enchantment, might ascend <br />A magic ship, whose charmed sails should fly <br />With winds at will where’er our thoughts might wend, <br />So that no change, nor any evil chance <br />Should mar our joyous voyage; but it might be, <br />That even satiety should still enhance <br />Between our hearts their strict community: <br />And that the bounteous wizard then would place <br />Vanna and Bice and my gentle love, <br />Companions of our wandering, and would grace <br />With passionate talk, wherever we might rove, <br />Our time, and each were as content and free <br />As I believe that thou and I should be.<br /><br />Percy Bysshe Shelley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-from-the-italian-of-dante/
