I saw the rose-grove blushing in pride,
I gather'd the blushing rose—and sigh'd—
I come from the rose-grove, mother,
I come from the grove of roses.

— Gil Vicente

Viera estar rosal florido,
cogí rosas con sospiro:
vengo del rosale. Del rosal vengo, mi madre,
vengo del rosale.

Who himself cannot control
Why should he o'er others rule?

The pursuit of love
is like falconry.

The rose looks out in the valley,
And thither will I go,
To the rosy vale, where the nightingale
Sings his song of woe.
