A poem of four lines in the language of Utopia
from the first edition of Thomas More’s Utopia, 1516
Translation:
General Utopus made me from a non-island into an island;
I, the one land in the world without philosophy,
have shown mortals the philosophical State;
willingly I share what I have, not unwillingly I accept what is better.
