「蜂が蜜を吸うところで」





「蜂が蜜を吸うところで」
"Where the Bee Sucks"
by Shakespeare
[The Tempest] Act V, scene I

Lyrics:

Where the bee sucks, there suck I;
In a cowslip's bell I lie;
There I couch when owls do cry.
On the bat's back I do fly
After summer merrily.
Merrily, merrily shall I live now
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.


「恋する若者と娘がいた」
"It Was a Lover and His Lass"
by Shakespeare
[As You Like It] Act V, scene III

Lyrics:

It was a lover and his lass,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
That o'er the green cornfield did pass

In springtime, the only pretty ringtime,
When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding,
Sweet lovers love the spring.

Between the acres of the rye,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
These pretty country folks would lie
In springtime, &c. ... ...
