13點的童話
13點的童話
無論何處無論何地
在適當的時間
攀登上旋轉樓梯
扭曲著扭曲著
掛鐘裡的娃娃企圖叛亂
翡翠、琥珀、紅色瑪瑙
殘酷的愛麗絲們
將天使不在使用而無力垂下的羽翼
與人魚的玻璃鱗片混淆了
只看見海豚蜷伏在沉睡的玻璃海中
美麗的北極噩夢
是把已毀的漆黑自鳴琴
投向屋頂和房間
沉醉在堅定的空想虛構症狀中
在禁忌遊戲中的少年們
罪惡之血滴在白色的腳印上
他們將病態的尖銳的
不透明的荊棘毫無保留的刺出
13點的童話
時間非常 撲朔迷離
這門扉
永遠 不再開啟
然而沒有任何人
在乎

There was a lady all skin and bone
There was a lady all skin and bone,
Sure such a lady was never known:
It happened upon a certain day,
This lady went to church to pray.
When she came to the church stile,
There she did rest a little while;
When she came to the church yard,
There the hells so loud she heard.
When she came to the church door,
She stopped to rest a little more;
When she came the church within,
The parson prayed \\\'gainst pride and sin.
On looking up, on looking down,
She saw a dead man on the ground;
And from his nose unto his chin,
The worms crawled out, the worms crawled in.
Then she unto the parson said,
Shall I be so when I am dead?
O yes! O yes, the parson said,
You will be so when you are dead.
這是一個小姐所有的皮和骨頭,
當然這樣一個小姐永遠不知道:
它發生在某一個日子裡,
這小姐去教堂做祈禱.
當她走到教堂的樓梯,
她休息了一下;
當她走到教堂的院子,
她聽見地獄的叫喊聲如此之大.
當她走到教堂的門,
她停下休息了更久;
當她走到教堂的裡面,
人們已經祈禱抗拒驕傲和罪過.
看上去,看下來,
她看見一個死人在地面;
從他的鼻子到他的下巴,
蠕蟲蠕動出來,蠕蟲蠕動進去.
然後她向這個人說,
我死時會否也這樣?
噢當然!噢當然,這個人說,
你死時也會這樣.

金絲雀
忘記怎麼唱歌的金絲雀被丟在後山了嗎？

不、不，那樣太可憐了。
忘記怎麼唱歌的金絲雀只要坐上象牙船，浮在銀色月光照耀得大海上，就會想起怎麼唱歌了！

鵝媽媽的起源
   雖然詩是像葡萄幹布丁一樣的英國名字，但實際上創作方法是&&&&國傳到英國的。 這些民間故事在 1697 年被叫做 "Contes de 媽 m 關於 l'Oye" 或 " 母親鵝的故事," 且出現在短的吹牛大話或故事中。 這些故事在 1729 年被轉變為英國語。但是在那之後不久, 當約翰（可以稱得上是鵝媽媽童謠的創作人）  和他的公司已經發現出版這種書是有利潤的時候,他們決定出版收錄這些傳統詩的書。 他們給鵝媽媽童謠的曲子起一些適當而又無意義的名字。 這個 1791年的Newbery（約翰的姓） 版本是最早的《鵝媽媽童謠》。它包含了五十二首詩,每首詩由一個有趣但是又不恰當的故事組成, 和每首以一個例子說明。
詩的歷史
   有這些詩的書對無數的附屬歷史有著重要意義。 舉例來說，他們那 " 淑女在一匹白色的馬之上"是多達第一位伊莉莎白皇后,而且 Muffet 小姐是被蜘蛛，約翰 Knox 驚嚇而攤派的瑪麗皇后。 有些研究給這些詩作星雲的猜測。 有時候，真正的人名字確實出現過在歷史上, 如羅賓頭巾或開膛手傑克；歷史裡如英文地名中被發現了埃克塞特，格洛斯特 , 倫敦橋, 或在街道哭聲中，舊關稅，歌，搖籃曲，遊戲等。這都反映著舊童謠發展的時代和地方。 他們的語言也反映他們的遠古起源。 童謠中的 "doth" 和 "你" 和 "你", 在小南西（地方名）可一＝以解釋成蠟燭謎，而且那些 " 鈴馬,鈴馬。（像聲詞）那是什麼日子的時候?" 那聲音是城鎮時鐘。這些都是童謠中描寫的語言和遠古的小調情形。

以下家就是完整得鵝媽媽童謠    [SIZE=4]
LITTLE BO-PEEP
Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,
And can't tell where to find them;
Leave them alone, and they'll come home,
And bring their tails behind them.
Little Bo-Peep fell fast asleep,
And dreamt she heard them bleating;
But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
For still they all were fleeting.
Then up she took her little crook,
Determined for to find them;
She, found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they'd left all their tails behind 'em!
It happened one day, as Bo-peep did stray
Unto a meadow hard by--
There she espied their tails, side by side,
All hung on a tree to dry.
She heaved a sigh and wiped her eye,
And over the hillocks she raced;
And tried what she could, as a shepherdess should,
That each tail should be properly placed.
譯文：LITTLE BO-PEEP（人名）
   
LITTLE BO-PEEP已經遺失她的羊,
而且不能看得出該哪裡找他們;
別管他們，而且他們決意回家,
而且帶來在他們後面的他們尾部。
跌落快速地睡熟了,
而且夢見她了他們嗚叫;
但是她何時喚醒,她發現它一個笑話,
對於劇照他們全部正在疾馳。
然後提高她拿了她一點點鉤,
決定為找他們;
她,的確發現他們,但是它製造了她的心出血,
因為他們有忘記他們所有的尾部
它發生在一天裡,如同BO-PEEP做了走失的家畜一樣
到很難的一個草地被--
那裡她看出了他們的尾部,並排,
在一棵樹上全部吊弄幹。
她嘆了一聲嘆息而且擦了她的眼睛,
超過小丘她比賽;
試驗過的什麼她可以當一個牧羊女。
每只尾部應該被適當地放置。

THE CLOCK
There's a neat little clock,--
In the schoolroom it stands,--
And it points to the time
With its two little hands.

Keep a face clean and bright,
With hands ever ready
To do what is right.

做什麼是正確的。

A MELANCHOLY SONG
Trip upon trenchers,
And dance upon dishes,
My mother sent me for some barm, some barm;
She bid me go lightly,
And come again quickly,
For fear the young men should do me some harm.

What naughty tricks they put upon me?
They broke my pitcher
And spilt the water,
And huffed my mother,
And chid her daughter,
And kissed my sister instead of me.

When a good King Arthur rule this land
When a good King Arthur rule this land，
He was a goodly king;
He stole three pecks of barley-meal To make a bag-pudding.
A bag-pudding the king did make,
And stuffed it well with plums;
And in it put great lumps of fat As big as my two thumbs.
The king and queen did eat thereof,
And noblemen beside;
And what they could not eat that night,
The queen next morning fried.

Frogs and snails　
And puppy-dogs' tails,　
What are little girls made of ?　
Suger and spice　　
And all that's nice.
小男孩是由什麼做的？
青蛙和蝸牛
還有小狗的尾巴　
小女孩是由什麼做的？
糖和香料
都是那麼的美好呀　
 
Little Miss Muffet
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey;
There came a big spider,
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet
小瑪菲特小姐
坐在墊子上
吃著乳酪
然後來了一只蜘蛛
坐在她旁邊
嚇跑了瑪菲特小姐
 
Georgie Porgie
Georgie Porgie,
pudding and pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry;
When the boys came out to play,
Georgie Porgie ran away.
喬治‧珀治
布丁和派
親吻女孩惹她們哭
男孩們來了
喬治‧珀治就跑了
 
Simple Simon
Simple Simon met a pieman
Going to the fair;
Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
"Let me taste your ware."
Says the pieman to Simple Simon,
"Show me first your penny."
Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
"Indeed I have not any."
He went to catch a dickey bird,
And thought he could not fail,
Because he'd got a little salt,
To put upon his tail.
He went to take a bird's nest,
Was built upon a bough;
The branch gave way and Simon fell
Into a dirty slough.
He went to shoot a wild duck,
But wild duck flew away;
Say Simon, I can't hit him,
Because he will not stay."　
Simple Simon went a-fishing,
For to catch a whale;
All the water he had got
Was in his mother's pail.
Simple Simon went a-hunting,
For to catch a hare;
He rode an ass about the streets,
But couldn't find one there.
He went for to eat honey,
Out of the mustard pot;
He bit his tongue until he cried,
That was all the good he got.
He went to ride a spotted cow
That had a little calf;
She threw him down upon the ground,
Which made the people laugh.
Once Simon made a great snowball,
And brought it in to roast;
He laid it down before the fire,
And soon the ball was lost.
He went to slide upon the ice
Before the ice would bear;
Then he plunged in above his knees,
Which made poor Simon stare.
He washed himself with blacking ball,
Because he had no soap;
Then said unto his mother,
"I'm a beauty now, I hope."　
Simple Simon went to look
If plums grew on a thistle;
He pricked his fingers very much,
Which made poor Simon whistle.
He went for water in a sieve,
But soon it all ran through.
And now poor Simple Simon
Bids you all adieu.　
無知的西蒙遇見一個賣派的商人
正要趕往集市
無知的西蒙對賣派的商人說：
“讓我嘗嘗你的派吧 ”
商人對無知的西蒙說：
“先讓我看看你的便士吧”
無知的西蒙對商人說：
“其實我一分也沒有”　
他去抓小鳥
認為自己不會失敗
因為他有一把鹽
撒在它的尾巴上
他去取小鳥的窩
那個築在一根大樹枝上的鳥窩
樹枝斷了，無知的西蒙掉下來
落在臟臟的泥沼裡　
他去打野鴨
但是野鴨飛走了
西蒙說，我打不中它
因為他不呆在那裡
無知的西蒙去釣魚
想要釣一條鯨魚
然而他所有的水
都在媽媽的水桶裡
無知的西蒙去打獵
想要打中一只野兔
他騎著驢穿過街道
那裡找不到一只野兔
他去吃蜂蜜
從一只餐桌上的芥末罐子
他咬著自己的舌頭直到哭出來
這就是他吃到的全部　
他去騎頭花斑牛
可母牛還有頭小牛
母牛甩他在地上
惹的人們笑哈哈　
一次西蒙做了個大雪球
把它帶回來烤一烤
把它放在火前面
雪球一會兒不見了　
他到冰上去滑冰
在冰還能支撐前
然後他把膝蓋插到冰裡面
可憐的西蒙睜大了眼　
他用黑色的鞋油來洗澡
因為他沒有肥皂
然後他對媽媽說：
“我想現在自己很漂亮吧”　
無知的西蒙去賞花
李子長在薊上
手被刺傷了好幾次
可憐的西蒙大叫著　
他坐在籠子裡到了水裡
但是很快就沉了下去
可憐而又無知的西蒙啊
永遠地再見了
 
There was an old man
There was an old man
And he had a calf
And that's half
He took him out of the stall
And put his on the wall
And that's all
從前有個老人
他養了一頭小牛
現在說到一半
老人把小牛帶出牛舍
再把它系在牆上
這就是全部
 
BLACK SHEEP
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool ?
Yes, sir, yes, sir, Three bags full;
One for the master,
And one for the dame,
And one for the little boy who lives down the lane
咩~咩~
黑羊啊黑羊
你的身上可有羊毛
有啊有啊
有三袋
一袋給主人
一袋給夫人
還有一袋給路邊哭泣的小少爺
 
Three Blind Mice
Three blind mice! See how they run!
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife.
Did you ever see such a thing in your life
As three blind mice?
三隻瞎眼的老鼠！看牠們跑的方式！
牠們追著農夫的老婆，
她用餐刀切了牠們的尾巴。
你這輩子見過像這樣的東西嗎？
和三隻瞎眼的老鼠一樣。
 
Sing A Song of Sixpence
Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye;
Four-and-twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie!
When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing;
Was not that a dainty dish
To set before the king?
The king was in his counting-house,
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlor,
Eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes;
When down came a blackbird
And snapped off her nose.
唱一首六便士之歌，
袋子裡裝滿黑麥；
二十四隻黑畫眉，
被放在派裡面烤！
當派被剝開，
畫眉開始唱歌；
那可不是放在國王桌前，
十分可口的一餐嗎？
國王在帳房數錢；
王后在客廳吃麵包蜂蜜。
女僕在花園曬衣；
一隻黑畫眉飛來，
啄走了她的鼻子。
 
There was a crooked man
There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.
一個扭曲的男人，走了一哩扭曲的路。
手拿扭曲的六便士，踏上扭曲的台階，
買一隻歪歪扭扭的貓兒，貓兒抓歪歪扭扭的老鼠。
他們一起住歪歪扭扭的小屋。
 
Lizzie Borden Took An Axe
Lizzie Borden took an axe,
Hit her father forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done,
She hit her mother forty-one.
麗茲玻頓拿起斧頭，
砍了爸爸四十下。
當她意識到她做了甚麼，
她砍她媽媽四十一下。
安妮在《天遣女王》裡，簡克寶貝劈死自己父親的時候，引用了這個典故--源於十九世紀轟動美國麻省的凶殺案。莉茲‧玻頓並非與簡克寶貝同年齡的小女孩，凶殺案發生時她已30歲。1892年8月4日中午，莉茲‧玻頓叫喚她的鄰居說，她的父親被殺了，警察到來時，發現她的母親也死了。母親被斧子砍了18下，父親被砍了10下。消息立即被傳開了，媒體認為莉茲本人極有謀殺嫌疑。然而次年六月，法庭宣判莉茲無罪。此後，她的故事廣為流傳，被寫成了小說，芭蕾，百老匯，歌劇。最後是日本的教科書將她的童謠作為鵝媽媽童話收錄的。

Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horse And all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again
蛋在斷崖之上孵著，
孵著孵著掉下來了，
就算聚集了國王所有的馬，
就算聚集了國王所有的臣子，
蛋也不能再恢復原來的樣子…
 
There Was A Man, A Very Untidy Man
There was a man, a very untidy man,
Whose fingers could nowhere be found
to put in his tomb.
He had rolled his head far underneath the bed;
He had left legs and arms lying all over the room.
死了一個男子，
一個沒出息的男子，
懶得動手把他埋在墳墓裡。
頭滾落在床下，
四肢散亂的在房間裡～
 
有一個小男孩下樓來
他拿著一支小手槍
子彈是鉛，鉛是子彈
射殺了約翰?史普力格
射中了他的腦袋
腦袋飛呀！飛呀！

When they heard the bell toll
For poor Cock Robin.

歡樂地搖下又搖上，倫敦的鐘兒響噹噹。提到槍靶和靶心，就數大鐘聖馬格麗特。提到瓦片和磚頭，就數大鐘聖吉爾斯。提到橘子和檸檬，就數大鐘聖克雷門。提到糕餅和餡餅，就數大鐘聖彼德。兩根木棒一顆蘋果，那就是大鐘白教堂。提到光頭老神父，就想到大鐘阿得蓋特。提到穿白圍裙的女士們，就數大鐘聖凱薩林。說到火叉和火鉗，就數大鐘聖約翰。說起茶壺和煎鍋，就想到大鐘聖安娜。提到五毛錢和兩分半，就數大鐘聖馬汀。提到你欠我十先令，就想到大鐘聖海倫。要問你什麼時候還錢，就讓我想到大鐘老貝禮。還錢？得等我有錢，就想到大鐘休爾狄區。等你有錢？那是什麼時候？就想到大鐘史特普尼。我也不太清楚，似是大鐘包伍的回應。應該是我老的時候吧，說話的像是大鐘聖保羅。蠟燭點燃時你該上床睡覺去，當心刀斧要你的命
