O thou that with surprising glory crown'd, Look'st from thy sole dominion like the God Of this new world; at whose sight all the stars Hide their diminished heads... (J. Milton, ‘Paradise Lost’, book IV, stanza 35) — О солнце, в венце своей великой славы, Одно в своих владеньях, как господь, На этот мир взирающее новый. Ты, пред которым все тускнеют звезды И преклоняют голову свою... (перевод Н. Холодковского)

Brutus: "The name of Cassius honours this corruption And chastisement does therefore hide his head. " (W. Shakespeare, ‘Julius Caesar’, act IV, sc. 3) — Брут: "Пороку имя Кассия - защита. Оно тебя от кары ограждает." (перевод И. Мандельштама)

Hide your heads, ye young Romeos and Leanders, this blasé old beau loves with an hysterical fervour that requires four adjectives to every noun to properly describe. (J. K. Jerome, ‘Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow’, ‘On Being in Love’) — Придется вам сникнуть, юные Ромео и Леандры. Этот всем пресыщенный, убеленный сединами кавалер обожает возлюбленную с таким необузданным пылом, что для того, чтобы все это должным образом описать, потребуется четыре прилагательных перед каждым существительным.
