Ó, drága hölgyem – dal Shakespeare „Vízkereszt, vagy amit akartok” c. vígjátékából (zene: Thomas Morley)

O Mistress mine

O Mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O Mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O, stay and hear; your true love’s coming,
O, stay and hear; your true love’s coming,
That can sing both high and low:
Trip no further, pretty sweeting;
Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Every wise man’s son doth know.
Trip no further, pretty sweeting;
Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Every wise man’s son doth know.

What is love? ‘Tis not hereafter;
What is love? ‘Tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What’s to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies not plenty;
Then, come kiss me, sweet and twenty,
Youth’s a stuff will not endure.
In delay there lies not plenty;
Then, come kiss me, sweet and twenty,
Youth’s a stuff will not endure.
