作词 : Jane Austen
In vain did Elizabeth endeavour
to check the rapidity of her mother’s words,
or persuade her to describe her felicity
in a less audible whisper;
for to her inexpressible vexation
she could perceive that the chief of it was overheard by Mr. Darcy,
who sat opposite to them.
Her mother only scolded her for being nonsensical.
“What is Mr. Darcy to me, pray,
that I should be afraid of him?
I am sure we owe him no such particular civility
as to be obliged to say nothing he may not like to hear.”
“For heaven’s sake, madam,
speak lower.
What advantage can it be to you to offend Mr. Darcy?
You will never recommend yourself to his friend
by so doing.”
