She listen''d with a flitting blush, With downcast eyes and modest grabsp;For well she knew, I could not choo But gaze upon her fabsp;
I told her of the Knight that wore Upon his shield a burning brand; And that for ten long years he woo''d The Lady of the Land.
I told her how he pined: and, ah!
The deep, the low, the pleading tone With which I sang another''s love Interpreted my own.
She listen''d with a flitting blush, With downcast eyes and modest grabsp;And she fave me, that I gazed Too fondly on her fabsp;
我講那女郎的驕矜
瘋魔了那勇敢的騎士，
他冒險去衝森林，
日不休而夜不止；
有時從野人的巢窟，
有時從幽暗的樹陰
有時突然崛起
於陽光照臨的綠蔭。
一個美而且都的天神，
出現於騎士之前；
但他知道是魔靈，
這騎士可憐!
他奮不顧身
跳進一殺人的魔群，
救出了那絕色的女郎
免受奇辱的暴行。
她於是泣，她於是抱住他的膝。
他悉心調護無效果，
她自此感恩竭力
想把從前激瘋他的蔑視償補；
她侍他病於一山洞，
他橫臥在焦黃的葉中，
他的瘋魔消失。
他的生命垂絕。

There came and look''d him in the fabsp;An angel beautiful and bright; And that he k was a Fiend, This mirable Knight!
And that, unknowing what he did, He leap''d amid a murderous band, And saved from e wor thah The Lady of the Land;— And how she wept, and clasp''d his knees; And how she tended him in vain; And ever strove to expiate The s that crazed his brain;— nd that she nurd him in a cave, And how his madness went away, When on the yellow forest-leaves A dying man he lay;—
