初知莲波是读她以诗经体译的Scarborough Fair，不禁由衷佩服这位网中奇女子的才气，更感叹她一去不返，不能更多领略她的文采。这首绿袖唱起来竟是合韵合拍。
《绿袖》　　　　Greensleeve

　　我思断肠，伊人不臧。　　Alas my love, you do me wrong
　　弃我远去，抑郁难当。　　To cast me off discourteously
　　我心相属，日久月长。　　I have loved you all so long
　　与卿相依，地老天荒。　　Delighting in your company

　　绿袖招兮，我心欢朗。　　Greensleeves was all my joy
　　绿袖飘兮，我心痴狂。　　Greensleeves was my delight
　　绿袖摇兮，我心流光。　　Greensleeves was my heart of gold
　　绿袖永兮，非我新娘。　　And who but my Lady Greensleeves

　　我即相偎，柔荑纤香。　　I have been ready at your hand
　　我自相许，舍身何妨。　　To grant whatever you would crave
　　欲求永年，此生归偿。　　I have both waged life and land
　　回首欢爱，四顾茫茫。　　Your love and good will for to have

　　绿袖招兮，我心欢朗。　　Greensleeves was all my joy
　　绿袖飘兮，我心痴狂。　　Greensleeves was my delight
　　绿袖摇兮，我心流光。　　Greensleeves was my heart of gold
　　绿袖永兮，非我新娘。　　And who but my Lady Greensleeves

　　伊人隔尘，我亦无望。　　Thou couldst desire no earthly thing
　　彼端箜篌，渐疏渐响。　　But still thou hadst it readily
　　人既永绝，心自飘霜。　　Thy music still to play and sing
　　斥欢斥爱，绿袖无常。　　And yet thou wouldst not love me

　　绿袖招兮，我心欢朗。　　Greensleeves was all my joy
　　绿袖飘兮，我心痴狂。　　Greensleeves was my delight
　　绿袖摇兮，我心流光。　　Greensleeves was my heart of gold
　　绿袖永兮，非我新娘。　　And who but my Lady Greensleeves

　　绿袖去矣，付与流觞。　　Greensleeves now farewell adieu
　　我燃心香，寄语上苍。　　God I pray to prosper thee
　　我心犹炽，不灭不伤。　　For I am still thy lover true
　　伫立垅间，待伊归乡。　　Come once again and love me

　　绿袖招兮，我心欢朗。　　Greensleeves was all my joy
　　绿袖飘兮，我心痴狂。　　Greensleeves was my delight
　　绿袖摇兮，我心流光。　　Greensleeves was my heart of gold
　　绿袖永兮，非我新娘。　　And who but my Lady Greensleeves
