Though my carriage be but careless,
Though my carriage be but careless,
though my looks be of the sternest,
though my looks be of the sternest,
Line 36: Line 35:
nor my heart so hard compiled
nor my heart so hard compiled
but it melts, if love provoke me.
but it melts, if love provoke me.

Al is mijn vege lijf versleten,
Al is mijn vege lijf versleten,
en zijn mijn trekken wat verbeten,
en zijn mijn trekken wat verbeten,
Line 50: Line 48:
noch is mijn inborst zo gehard
noch is mijn inborst zo gehard
dat 'k niet ontdooi van liefde en ontroering.
dat 'k niet ontdooi van liefde en ontroering.

Original text and translations

English.png English text

Though my carriage be but careless,
though my looks be of the sternest,
yet my passions be compareless,
when I love, I love in earnest.

No, my wits are not so wild
but a gentle soul may yoke me,
nor my heart so hard compiled
but it melts, if love provoke me.
 


Dutch.png Dutch translation

Al is mijn vege lijf versleten,
en zijn mijn trekken wat verbeten,
toch is mijn hartstocht onbegrensd,
wanneer ik liefheb in alle ernst.

Ach nee, mijn grapjes zijn niet erg gevat
toch brengt een zachte ziel mij in vervoering,
noch is mijn inborst zo gehard
dat 'k niet ontdooi van liefde en ontroering.
