《Twicknam Garden》约翰·但恩诗赏析

Twicknam Garden

Blasted with sighs, and surrounded with teares,

Hither I come to seeke the spring,

And at mine eyes, and at mine eares,

Receive such balmes, as else cure every thing;

But O, selfe traytor, I do bring 

The spider love, which transubstantiates all,

And can convert Manna to gall,

And that this place may thoroughly be thought

True Paradise, I have the serpent brought.

 

 

'Twere wholsomer for mee, that winter did 

Benight the glory of this place,

And that a grave frost did forbid

These trees to laugh, and mocke mee to my face;

But that I may not this disgrace

Indure, nor yet leave loving, Love let mee 

Some senslesse peece of this place bee;

Make me a mandrake, so I may groane here,

Or a stone fountaine weeping out my yeare.

 

 

Hither with chirstall vyals, lovers come,

And take my teares, which are loves wine, 

And try your mistresse Teares at home,

For all are false, that tast not just like mine;

Alas, hearts do not in eyes shine,

Nor can you more judge womans thoughts by teares,

Then by her shadow, what she weares. 

O perverse sexe, where none is true but shee,

Who's therefore true, because her truth kills mee.
