Licence my roving hands, and let them go,
Before, behind, between, above, below.
O my America! my new-found-land
-- J. Donne, 1633.
Блуждающим рукам моим дай разрешенье,Variant reading reeing instead of roving is even better.
Пусти вперед, назад, промеж, и вверх, и вниз,
О дивный новый мир, Америка моя!
I hope that "О дивный новый мир" (O brave new world) is not entirely anachronistic.
