《印度之行的阅读笔记》勤劳的朱妞妞

10、第 10 章

　　Contented with my cottage mates,
　　Not mindful I was fair.
　　Why did a great lord find me out,
　　And praise my flaxen hair?盘发
　　Why did a great lord find me out
　　To fill my heart with care?

　　He lured诱惑 me to his palace home--
　　Woe's困境苦恼 me for joy thereof--
　　To lead a shameless shameful life,
　　His plaything and his love.
　　He wore me like a silken knot丝绸结,
　　He changed me like a glove;手套
　　So now I moan, an unclean thing,
　　Who might have been a dove.

　　O Lady Kate, my cousin Kate,
　　You grew more fair than I:
　　He saw you at your father's gate,
　　Chose you, and cast me by. 抛弃
　　He watched your steps along the lane车道,
　　Your work among the rye; 裸麦威士忌酒，黑麦
　　He lifted you from mean estate
　　To sit with him on high.

　　Because you were so good and pure
　　He bound you with his ring:
　　The neighbours call you good and pure,
　　Call me an outcast被驱逐的，无赖，流氓 thing.
　　Even so I sit and howl嚎叫 in dust,
　　You sit in gold and sing:
　　Now which of us has tenderer温柔的疼痛的 heart?
　　You had the stronger wing.

　　O cousin Kate, my love was true,
　　Your love was writ写 in sand:
　　If he had fooled not me but you,
　　If you stood where I stand,
　　He'd not have won me with his love
　　Nor bought me with his land;
　　I would have spit吐口水 into his face
　　And not have taken his hand.

　　Yet I've a gift you have not got,
