Was never face so pleas'd my mind;

I did but see her passing by,

看着她从身边走过，

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,

Should I remain confined there

I to request, she to deny,

Her country so my love doth change:
