"Consolation in sorrow"
THE HUSSAR
And so the time has come.
My horse must be saddled.
And I must ride,
For such is my resolve.
Begone from me. My part is clear!
My love for you is a fool's love.
I can live my life without you.
Without you I can feel happy;
And so I mount my horse
And drink a glass of cooling wine
And swear by my beard
To be true to you for ever.
THE GIRL
You think you are the handsomest man
In all the wide world;
The most agreeable as well!
But you are much mistaken!
In my father's garden
There blooms a lovely flower,
And I will only wait
Till it has grown taller.
So, you go your way!
My part is clear.
My love for you is a fool's love,
I can live my life without you,
Without you I can feel happy.
BOTH
You think I will take you for my own!
That has long been far from my mind,
For I must be ashamed of you
When I am in good company.
--
if music be the food of love,
tho' yet the treat is only sound.
Sure I must perish by your charms,
unless you save me in your arms.
---- Heveningham/Weichin Chen
