The Passionate Shepherd to His love

Come live with me and be my love,

And we will all the pleasures prove

That valleys, groves, hills, and field,

Woods, or steepy mountain yields.

And we will sit upon the rocks,

Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks,

By shallow rivers to whose falls

Melodious birds sing madrigals.

And I will make thee beds of roses

And a thousand fragrant posies,

A cap of flowers, and a kirtle

Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;

A gown made of the finest wool

Which from our pretty lambs we pull;

Fair lined slippers for the cold,

With buckles of the purest gold;

A belt of straw and ivy buds,

With coral clasps and amber studs:

And if these pleasures may thee move ,

Come live with me and be my love.

The shepherds’ swains shall dance and sing

For thy delight each May morning:

If these delights thy mind may move,

Then live with me and be my love.

汉语七言译诗

羊倌致恋人

君来嫁我伴终生，

美景良辰共销魂，

峡谷果园村野秀，

山峦陡峻层林幽。

两情相悦坐岩边，

遥望羊倌放牧闲，

清浅碧流水落急，

莺声宛转伴鸣溪。

我洒玫瑰舖婚床，

万千花束吐芬芳，

再织花冠配花裙，

桃金娘叶作绣锦。

上等羊毛织秀袍，

羊毛剪自俏羊羔；

带衬拖鞋御严寒，

纯金镶嵌做扣环。

麦草藤萝腰带柔，

琥珀饰纽珊瑚扣，

此情若可动心魂，

盼君嫁我度今生。

五月清晨多欢乐，

放牧情郎舞且歌，

无边欢乐若摄魂，

君来嫁我度今生。

（峨以译）

The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd

If all the world and love were young,

And truth in every shepherd’s tongue,

These pretty pleasures might me move

To live with thee and be thy love.

Time drives the flocks from field to fold,

When rivers rage and rocks grow cold，

And Philomel becometh dumb;

The rest complains of cares to come.

The flowers do fade, and wanton fields

To wayward winter reckoning yields:

A honey tongue, a heart of gall,

Is fancy's spring, but sorrow's fall.

The gowns, thy shoes, thy beds of roses,

Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy posies

Soon break, soon wither, soon forgotten,

In folly ripe, in reason rotten.

Thy belt of straw and ivy buds,

Thy coral clasps and amber studs,

All these in me no means can move

To come to thee and be thy love.
