Theocritus: A VillanelleO Singer of Persephone!

In the dim meadows desolateDost thou remember Sicily?

Still through the ivy flits the beeWhere Amaryllis lies in state;O Singer of Persephone!

Simætha calls on HecateAnd hears the wild dogs at the gate;Dost thou remember Sicily?

Still by the light and laughing seaPoor Polypheme bemoans his fate:O Singer of Persephone!

And still in boyish rivalryYoung Daphnis challenges his mate:Dost thou remember Sicily?

Slim Lacon keeps a goat for thee,For thee the jocund shepherds wait,O Singer of Persephone!

Dost thou remember Sicily?

忒奥克利托斯：维拉涅拉哦，帕尔赛弗涅的歌手！

在幽暗、荒芜的牧场，你是否还记得西西里？

蜜蜂倏地飞进常春藤，阿玛丽丝堂皇地躺着，哦，帕尔赛弗涅的歌手！

西玛萨前来拜访赫卡特，听到一条野狗在门前狂吠，你是否还记得西西里？

在明亮和欢笑的海边，可怜的波吕斐摩为命运痛哭，哦，帕尔赛弗涅的歌手！

年轻的达弗涅稚气未脱，执拗地挑战自己的同伴，你是否还记得西西里？

纤瘦的拉孔为你照管那山羊，快乐的牧羊者都在期盼你，哦，帕尔赛弗涅的歌手！

你是否还记得西西里？
