《In Summer’s Heat》歌词

[00:00:04] in summer's heat, and mid-time of the day,

[00:00:08] to rest my limbs, upon a bed i lay;

[00:00:12] one window shut, the other open stood,

[00:00:15] which gave such light as twinkles in a wood,

[00:00:19] like twilight glimpse at setting of the sun,

[00:00:22] or night being past, and yet not day begun;

[00:00:27] such light to shamefaced maidens must be shown

[00:00:31] where they may sport, and seem to be unknown:

[00:00:36] then came corinna in her long loose gown,

[00:00:40] her white neck hid with tresses hanging down,

[00:00:44] resembling fair semiramis going to bed,

[00:00:48] or lais of a thousand wooers sped.

[00:00:53] i snatched her gown being thin, the harm was small,

[00:00:57] yet strived she to be covered therewithal,

[00:01:01] and striving thus as one that would be cast,

[00:01:04] betrayed herself, and yielded at the last.

[00:01:09] stark naked as she stood before mine eye,

[00:01:13] not one wen in her body could i spy.

[00:01:17] what arms and shoulders did i touch and see,

[00:01:22] how apt her breasts were to be pressed by me,

[00:01:27] how smooth a belly under her waist saw i,

[00:01:31] how large a leg, and what a lusty thigh.

[00:01:35] to leave the rest, all liked me passing well;

[00:01:40] i clinged her naked body, down she fell:

[00:01:45] judge you the rest, being tired she bade me kiss;

[00:01:51] jove send me more such afternoons as this!
