Let vs rather
Hold fast the mortall Sword: and like good men,
Bestride our downfall Birthdome: each new Morne,
New Widdowes howle, new Orphans cry, new sorowes
Strike heauen on the face, that it resounds
As if it felt with Scotland, and yell'd out
Like
Syllable
of Dolour
Mal.

寒山詩
HS 62
群女戲夕陽,
風來滿路香。
綴裙金蛺蝶,
4 插髻玉鴛鴦。 角婢紅羅縝, 閹奴紫錦裳。 為觀失道者,
8 鬢白心惶惶。 HS 63
若人逢鬼魅,
第一莫驚懅。
捺硬莫采渠,
4 呼名自當去。 燒香請佛力,
禮拜求僧助。
蚊子叮鐵牛,
8 無渠下觜處。

Such as on stages play, such as we see
The Dryads painted whom wild Satyrs love,
Whose arms half-naked, locks
untrussed
be,
With buskins laced on their legs above,
And silken robes tucked short above their knee;
Such seemed the sylvan daughters of this grove,
Save that instead of shafts and boughs of tree,
She bore a lute, a harp, or cittern she.
