Poetry Translation Quiz


ESO 2, 3 & 4 Students,

1 point up for grabs in the next test for the student to send to our e-mail the first correct answer to this quiz:

Andrew Marvell (1621-1678) wrote the poem To His Coy Mistress (which you can listen here). The first two verses of its third stanza read like this:

Now therefore, while the youthful hue
Sits on thy skin like morning dew...

If you had to translate these two lines into Spanish using the first two verses in a very famous sonnet by a 16th century Spanish poet and soldier... What would your translation be?

Carpe Diem!
