任誰想狩獵，我知哪兒有隻母鹿

但對我，啊哈，我再也不去費力。
徒勞的努力已讓我如此酸楚倦疲，
他們中我走得最遠但仍落在後處。

但是我決不，不讓我疲憊的思緒
從那母鹿抽脫，但當她向前逃避
我跟得眩暈。因此我放任她走離，
因我尋求在一張網裏將那風捕住。

不管誰是獵她的人，我毫不懷疑
都將像我一樣，將時間白白耗去。
繞她美麗的頸項，用明白的言語
且用鑽石將這句話，刻寫在那裏：

“不要碰我，因為我是凱撒的財物，

被獵獲時我很狂野，雖然看似馴服。”

Sir Thomas Wyatt

Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind,

But as for me, alas, I may no more.

The vain travail hath wearied me so sore,

I am of them that farthest cometh behind.

Yet may I by no means my wearied mind

Draw from the deer, but as she fleeth afore

Fainting I follow. I leave off therefore,

Since in a net I seek to hold the wind.

Who list her hunt, I put him out of doubt,

As well as I may spend his time in vain.

And graven with diamonds in letters plain

There is written, her fair neck round about: “

Noli me tangere, for Caesar’s I am,

And wild for to hold, though I seem tame.”

 

 

 

Whoso list: whoever wants Hind:

Female deer Noli me tangere: “Don’t touch me”
