Lyrics from the Song-Books of the Elizabethan Age

It is not too much to say that, for delicate perfection of form, some of the Elizabethan songs can compare with the choicest epigrams in the Greek Anthology.

这样说一点也不夸张：伊丽莎白时代的歌谣，就其精致完美的形式而言，可以与《希腊诗选》中最精妙的警句相媲美。

there are no sweeter lyrics in English poetry than are to be found in Campion’s song-books.

在英国诗坛上，再也没有比坎皮恩歌本中更为动人的抒情诗了。
