Song: to Celia [Come, my Celia, let us prove]
BY BEN JONSON Come, my Celia, let us prove, While we can, the sports of love; Time will not be ours forever; He at length our good will sever. Spend not then his gifts in vain. Suns that set may rise again; But if once we lose this light, ’Tis with us perpetual night. Why should we defer our joys? Fame and rumor are but toys. Cannot we delude the eyes Of a few poor household spies, Or his easier ears beguile, So removèd by our wile? ’Tis no sin love’s fruit to steal; But the sweet thefts to reveal, To be taken, to be seen, These have crimes accounted been. Igor Mudrov is an oil painter who is originally from Russia. He currently lives in the United States. Much of his work contains figures in the rain, and his unique technique gives the viewer a very visceral sense of the scenes. |
