Who is Sylvia? What is she,

That all ours swains commend her?

Holy, fair, and wise is she; holy fair and wise,

The heaven such grace did lend her,

That she might admired be.

 

Is she kind as she is fair?

For beauty lives with kindness.

Love doth to her eyes repair,

To help him of his blindness;

And, being help'd, inhabits there

 

Then to Sylvia let us sing

That Sylvia is excelling;

she excels each mortal thing each mortal thing

Upon the dull earth dwelling.

To her let us garlands bring.

 

 

 

 

西爾維婭伊何人，

乃能顛倒眾生心?

神聖嬌麗且聰明，

天賦諸美萃一身，

俾令舉是誦其名。

 

伊人顏色如花濃，

伊人宅心如春柔；

盈盈妙目啟瞽矇，

創平痍復相思廖，

寸心永駐眼梢頭。

 

彈琴為伊歌一曲，

伊人美好世無倫；

塵世蕭條苦寂寞，

唯伊燦耀如星辰；

穿花為束獻佳人。
