83 TOMMASO CAMPANELLA. To RiDOLFO DI BI^fA. Wisdom and love, O Bina, gave thee wings, Before the blossom of thy years had faded, To fly with Adam for thy guide, God-aided, Through many lands in divers journeyings. Pure virtue is thy guerdon : virtue brings Glory to thee, death to the foes degraded, Who through long years of darkness have invaded Thy Germany, mother of slaves not kings. Yet, gazing on heaven's book, heroic child. My soul discerns graces divine in thee : — Leave toys and playthin...gs to the crowd of fools I Do thou with heart fervent and proudly mild Make war upon those fraud-engendering schools ! I see thee victor, and in God I see. John Addington Symonds. 84 ■ ITALIAN SONNETS. TOMMASO CAMPANELLA. The Book of Nature. The world's the book where the eternal Sense Wrote his own thoughts ; the living temple where, Painting his very self, with figures fair He filled the whole immense circumference. Here then should each man read, and gazing find Both how to live and govern, and beware Of godlessness ; and, seeing God ail-where.
