Любовь и слава Love and Glory - Charles Dibdin

Charles Dibdin Чарлз Дибдин

        Love and Glory Любовь и слава


Young Henry was as brave a youth, Хоть молод Генри, всё ж, не трус,

As ever graced a martial story Превыше честь и войск уставы.

And Jane was fair as lovely truth, А Джейн свежа, как розы куст

She sighed for love and he for glory. Ждала любви, он жаждал славы.


With her his faith he meant to plight, При Джейн ни слова о войне:

And told her many a gallant story, Невинны юности забавы,

Till war their honest joys to blight, В речах галантен с ней вдвойне,

Call'd him away from love to glory. Но не любви, желал, а славы.

     

Brave Henry met the foe with pride, Война. Храбрец, как тут, в бою.

Jane follow'd - fought - ah! hapless story, Джейн вслед за ним, ах!Что за нравы.

In man's attire by Henry's side, Убиты. Жертвой к алтарю:

She died for love and he for glory. Она– любви, а Генри славы.

До головокруженья душно
Я улыбку твою полюбил за износ
