Youth's the season made for joys, Love is then our duty. She alone who that employs, Well deserves her beauty. Let's be gay while we may. Beauty's a flower, Despised in decay. Youth's the season made for joys, Love is then our duty.
Let us drink and sport today, Ours is not tomorrow. Love with youth flies swift away, Age is not but sorrow. Dance and sing, Time's on the wing. Life never knows the return of spring. Let us drink and sport today, Ours is not tomorrow.
这是70年版《简爱》中罗切斯特在宴会上由剧中人英格兰姆小姐伴奏所演唱的一曲短歌。书中所写是演唱《海盗》,只不过这里做了改动,但是斯科特的歌声也确实符合书中的人物!
