"Ukraine’s glory hasn’t perished, nor freedom, nor will.
Upon us, fellow kin, fate shall smile once more.
Our enemies will vanish, like dew in the morning sun,
And we too shall rule, brothers, in a free land of our own.

We’ll lay down our souls and bodies to attain our freedom,
And we’ll show that we, brothers, are of the Kozak line.
We’ll lay down our souls and bodies to attain our freedom,
And we’ll show that we, brothers, are of the Kozak nation."

Louise Labé, (1520-1566), was a female French Renaissance poet. Labé was fluent in Latin and Italian, and a trained musician. She wrote twenty-four sonnets.

Sonnet XVIII - O Kiss Me
(Translation)
O kiss me, kiss me, re-kiss me, and kiss!
Be reckless, impudent, hot-headed, bold!
O woo me!  Pursue me! Kiss me like this:
And I’ll give back fifty as hot as red coals.

There, is it hurting?  Come, let’s soothe the pain.
I’ll give you sixty others just like these.
And so we’ll kiss again and then again,
While we enjoy each other at our ease.

I know there’s fire within your unshaped clay,
And so, allow me, love, to share my happiness:
O let’s make burning passion rule today.

I’m fond of doing what I love to do,
Yet cannot feel supreme delight unless
I have my other wild encounters, too.

Labe Sonnet XVIII
