Desde.So would not I.My love doth so approve him, That even his stubbornness,his checks,his frowns, Prithee,unpin me,have grace and favor in them. Emilia.I have laid those sheets you bade me on the bed. Desde.All's one.Good faith,how foolish are our minds! If I do die before thee,prithee,shroud me In one of those same sheets. Emilia.Come,come,you talk. Desde.My mother had a maid call'd Barbary; She was in love,and he she loved proved mad And did forsake her.She had a song of willow; An old thing'twas,but it express'd her fortune, And she died singing it.That song tonight Will not go from my mind;I have much to do But to go hang my head all at one side And sing it like poor Barbary.Prithee,dispatch. Emilia.Shall I go fetch your night-gown? Desde.No,unpin me here. This Lodovico is a proper man. Emilia.A very handsome man. Desde.He speaks well. Emilia.I know a lady in Venice would have walked barefoot to Palestine for a touch of his nether?lip. Desde.The poor soul sat sighing by a sycamore tree, Sing all a green willow; Her hand on her bosom,her head on her knee, Sing willow,willow,willow. The fresh streams ran by her,and murmur'd her moans, Sing willow,willow,willow. ·226· 第四幕「 埃米莉亚我希望您当初并不和他相识！ 苔丝狄蒙娜我却不希望这样：我是那么喜欢他，即使 他的固执，他的呵斥，他的怒容—请你替我取下 衣上的扣针一在我看来也是可爱的。 埃米莉亚我已经照您的吩咐，把那些被褥铺好了。 苔丝狄蒙娜很好。天哪！我们的思想是多么傻！要是 ①shroud[raud用裹尸布 裹，给…穿上寿衣 我比你先死，请你就把那些被褥做我的殓衾。 埃米莉亚得啦得啦，您在说呆话。 苔丝狄蒙娜我的母亲有一个侍女名叫巴巴拉，她跟人 家有了恋爱：她的爱人发了疯，把她丢了。她有一 支《杨柳歌》，那是一支古老的曲调，可是正好说 中了她的命运；她到死的时候，嘴里还在唱着它。 那支歌今天晚上老是萦回在我的脑际：我的烦乱的 心绪，使我禁不住侧下我的头，学着可怜的巴巴拉 的样子把它歌唱。请你赶快点儿。 埃米莉亚我要不要就去把您的睡衣拿来？ 苔丝狄蒙娜不，先替我取下这儿的扣针，这个洛多维 科是一个俊美的男子。 埃米莉亚一个很漂亮的人。 苔丝狄蒙娜他的谈吐很好。 埃米莉亚我知道威尼斯有一个女郎，愿意赤了脚步行 到巴勒斯坦，为了希望碰一碰他的下唇。 ②nether[nei]a.下的，下 苔丝狄蒙娜（唱） 方的 可怜的她坐在枫树下啜泣， ③sycamore tree枫树 歌唱那青青杨柳； 她手抚着胸膛，她低头靠膝， 唱杨柳，杨柳，杨柳。 清澈的流水吐出她的呻吟， 唱杨柳，杨柳，杨柳； 她的热泪溶化了顽石的心 ·227· ACT IV Her salt tears fell from her,and soften'd the stones, Lay be these.

Emilia.Yes,a dozen,and as many to the vantage as would store the world they played for. But I do think it is their husbands'faults. If wives do fall;say that they slack their duties, And pour our treasures into foreign laps, Or else break out in peevish jealousies, Throwing restraint upon us,or say they strike us, Or scant our former having in despite, Why we have galls,and though we have some grace, Yet have we some revenge.Let husbands know, Their wives have sense like them;they see and smell, And have their palates both for sweet and sour, As husbands have.What is it that they do, When they change us for others?Is it sport? I think it is.And doth affection breed it? I think it doth.Is 't frailty that thus errs? It is so too.And have not we affections, Desires for sport,and frailty,as men have? Then let them use us well;else let them know, The ills we do,their ills instruct us so. Desde.Good night,good night.Heaven me such uses send, Not to pick bad from bad,but by bad mend.
