There Is A Lady Sweet And Kind
       by Thomas Ford

There is a lady sweet and kind,
Was never face so pleas'd my mind;
I did but see her passing by,
And yet I love her till I die.

Her gesture, motion, and her smiles,
Her wit, her voice, my heart beguiles,
Beguiles my heart, I know not why,
And yet I love her till I die.

Her free behaviour, winning looks,
Will make a lawyer burn his books;
I touch'd her not, alas! not I,
And yet I love her till I die.

Had I her fast betwixt mine arms,
Judge you that think such sports were harms,
Were't any harm? no, no, fie, fie,
For I will love her till I die.

Should I remain confined there
So long as Ph{oe}bus in his sphere,
I to request, she to deny,
Yet would I love her till I die.

Cupid is winged and doth range,
Her country so my love doth change:
But change she earth, or change she sky,
Yet will I love her till I die.

有一位甜蜜和蔼的女郎，
她的边幅让我欢欣鼓舞；
看着她从身边走过，
我要爱她直到地老天荒。

她的流动，她微笑的脸蛋，
她的伶俐和声音让我心驰憧憬，
让我心驰憧憬，不知是何缘故起因，
我要爱她直到地老天荒。

飘逸的仪态，折服民气的样子边幅，
让状师把法令淡忘；
天哪，虽然我自愧不如，
照样要爱她直到地老天荒。

要是我把她拥进怀里，
你感受这会对她造成损伤，
造成损伤？不会不会，
由于我要爱她直到地老天荒。

我会接连把她寻求，
只要世上另有太阳，
纵然她老是拒绝，
我也要爱她直到地老天荒。

丘比特展翅飞遍她的老家，
我的爱人也跟着换了形象：
天变地变我的爱不乱，
我要爱她直到地老天荒。
