[00:00.000] 作词 : William Shakespeare
[00:00.013]It is not the fashion to see the lady the epilogue;
[00:04.193]But it is no more unhandsome than to see the lord the prologue.
[00:08.997]If it be true that good wine needs no bush,
[00:13.627]Then 'tis true that a good play needs no epilogue;
[00:17.420]Yet to good wine they do use good bushes,
[00:20.752]And good plays prove the better by the help of good epilogues.
[00:26.034]What a case am I in then, that am neither a good epilogue
[00:31.047]nor cannot insinuate with you in the behalf of a good play!
[00:35.023]I am not furnished like a beggar, therefore to beg will not become me:
[00:40.183]my way is to conjure you; and I'll begin with the women.
[00:49.059]I charge you, O women, by the love you bear to men,
[00:55.040]to like as much of this play as please you:
[01:01.065]And I charge you, O men, by the love you bear to women--
[01:07.215]As I perceive by your simpering,none of you hates them--
[01:12.099]That between you and the women the play may please.
[01:17.930]If I were a woman
[01:20.273]I would kiss as many of you as had beards that pleased me,
[01:24.913]complexions that liked me
[01:27.461]And breaths that I defied not;
[01:30.577]And, I am sure, as many as have good beards
[01:34.833]or good faces, or sweet breaths will,
[01:38.753]For my kind offer, when I make curtsy, bid me farewell.
[01:48.312]

作词 : William Shakespeare
It is not the fashion to see the lady the epilogue;
But it is no more unhandsome than to see the lord the prologue.
If it be true that good wine needs no bush,
Then 'tis true that a good play needs no epilogue;
Yet to good wine they do use good bushes,
And good plays prove the better by the help of good epilogues.
What a case am I in then, that am neither a good epilogue
nor cannot insinuate with you in the behalf of a good play!
I am not furnished like a beggar, therefore to beg will not become me:
my way is to conjure you; and I'll begin with the women.
I charge you, O women, by the love you bear to men,
to like as much of this play as please you:
And I charge you, O men, by the love you bear to women--
As I perceive by your simpering,none of you hates them--
That between you and the women the play may please.
If I were a woman
I would kiss as many of you as had beards that pleased me,
complexions that liked me
And breaths that I defied not;
And, I am sure, as many as have good beards
or good faces, or sweet breaths will,
For my kind offer, when I make curtsy, bid me farewell.
