Flute,Guitar,Piccolo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.578602 Composed by David Warin Solomons. 20th Century,Contemporary. 8 pages. David Warin Solomons #6245205. Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.578602). Inspired by the poem "A son Nez" by the Renaissance poet Olivier Basselin. Beau nez, dont les rubis ont couste mainte pippeDe vin blanc et clairet,Et duquel la couleur richement participeDu rouge et violetGros nez! qui te regarde à travers un grant verreTe juge encor plus beau:Tu ne ressemble point au nez de quelque lierreQui ne beoit que de l’eauUn coq d’Inde sa gorge a toy semblable porte:Combien de riches gensN’ont pas si riche nez! Pour le peindre en la sorteIl faut beaucoup de temps.Le verre est le pinceau duquel on t’enlumine;Le vin est la couleurDont on t’a peint ainsy plus rouge qu’une guigneEn beuvant du meilleurOn dit qu’il nuit aux yeux, mais seront-ils les maîtres?Le vin est guarisonDe mes maux; j’ame mieux perdre les deux fenestresQue toute la maison.The original French poem has been translated into English by my father S N Solomons (and sung by me) as follows:O gorgeous Nose bedightWith wine and claretSo rutilant and ripeWith red and violetNose looming through a glassFiner by farThan that of some poor assWho drinks but waterMottled and luminousWhat wealthy menCan boast voluminousNoses magnificent?Crimson with hue so merryPainted with wineRedder than is the cherryWith drink so fineThey say it does you harm -A pox on them,For wine is sovereignRemedy and charm.
