39. Chop-Cherry
——R. Herrick
Thou gav'st me leave to kiss,
Thou gav'st me leave to woo;
Thou mad'st me think, by this
And that, thou lov'st me too.
But I shall nr'er forget
How, for to make thee merry
Thou mad'st me chop, but yet
Another snapp'd the cherry.
中文
39 砍樱桃枝
赫里克
你允许我亲吻,
你允许我求婚;
你通过种种手段,
使我相信你的爱情。
但是,我永远不会忘记,
我为了使你高兴,
遵命去砍樱桃枝,但是——
樱桃却落在别人手里。
