斯賓塞經典英語愛情詩歌:《愛情小唱》Amoretti Lxx

padding-bottom: 71.52%;">

Fresh Spring, the herald of love's mighty king,

新春乃愛情君王的喝道人，

In whose cote-armour richly are displayed

他的紋章上繡滿了花，

All sorts of flowers, the which on earth do spring,

大地在這個時節才蘇生，

In goodly colours gloriously arrayed -

各色的鮮花開成一片雲霞。

Goe to my love, where she is carelesse layd,

去吧，去到我愛人的家，

Yet in her winter's bowre not well awake;

她還懶懶地躺牀冬眠，

Tell her the joyous time will not be staid,

告訴她歡樂的時間不會停下，

Unlesse she doe him by the forelock take;

要抓住辰光趕緊向前，

Bid her therefore her selfe soone ready make,

囑咐她立刻梳頭洗臉，

To wayt on Love amongst his lovely crew;

列身在姑娘隊裏把愛情迎候，

Where every one, that misseth then her make,

不論誰只要錯過她的所戀，

Shall be by him amearst with penance dew.

就要把應得的懲罰承受。

Make hast, therefore, sweet love, whilest it is prime;

所以趁早吧，親愛的，春光正好，

For none can call againe the passed time.

消失了就再也不能找到。
