"Seorang pengantin wanita, sebelum "Selamat malam" bisa dikatakan, Haruskah lenyap dari pakaiannya ke tempat tidurnya, Seperti jiwa dari tubuh mencuri, dan tidak dimata-matai. Tapi sekarang dia dibaringkan; bagaimana dia? Namun ada lebih banyak penundaan, karena di mana dia? Dia datang dan melewati ruang demi ruang; Pertama, seprai, lalu lengan, lalu di mana saja. Kalau begitu jangan biarkan hari ini, tetapi malam ini menjadi milikmu; Harimu hanyalah malam menjelang ini, O Valentine."

--- John Donne

Versi Bahasa Inggris

A bride, before a "Good-night" could be said, Should vanish from her clothes into her bed, As souls from bodies steal, and are not spied. But now she's laid; what though she be? Yet there are more delays, for where is he? He comes and passeth through sphere after sphere; First her sheets, then her arms, then anywhere. Let not this day, then, but this night be thine; Thy day was but the eve to this, O Valentine.
