I
Sleep, little eyes
That brim with childish tears amid thy play,
Be comforted! No grief of night can weigh
Against the joys that throng thy coming day.
Sleep, little heart!
There is no place in Slumberland for tears:
Life soon enough will bring its chilling fears
And sorrows that will dim the after years.
Sleep, little heart!
II
Ah, little eyes
Dead blossoms of a springtime long ago,
That life's storm crushed and left to lie below
The benediction of the falling snow!
Sleep, little heart
That ceased so long ago its frantic beat!
The years that come and go with silent feet
Have naught to tell save this — that rest is sweet.
Sleep, little heart.

performed by National Taiwan University Chorus
conducted by Fang-Pei Tracy Lien
from "The Merchant of Venice" by Shakespeare
"Tell Me Where is Fancy Bred"選自《威尼斯商人》（The Merchant of Venice）第三幕之第二景。《威尼斯商人》為莎士比亞戲劇中涉及音樂較多的一齣，女主角波西亞（Portia）繼承了父親龐大的遺產，追求者絡繹不絕；波西亞的父親臨終前規定求婚者必須從三個分別由金、銀、鉛製成的箱子中，挑出一個內藏波西亞畫像的，才能與她成婚。
這日，輪到波西亞的意中人巴珊尼歐（Bassanio）來求婚了，但礙於家規，波西亞不能向巴珊尼歐吐露箱內實情，心中的焦躁可想而知，便讓家僕哼起這首〈告訴我愛情來自何方〉作為答案的暗示。
就歌詞而言，暗示性極為明顯，要巴珊尼歐勿以貌取物，因為美麗的事物總是倏忽而逝。在金、銀、鉛三個箱子中，當然要以鉛箱最為樸實無華了，聰明的巴珊尼歐自然不難領會其中的意味。另一個耐人尋味的地方是在這首小曲中音韻方面的暗示，三行的尾韻分別為bred [εd]、head [εd]、nourished [εd]，這開始的三個尾韻和鉛（lead）一字不謀而合！
曲目一畢，巴珊尼歐毫不猶豫地選擇了鉛箱，人財兩得，抱得美人歸。 less
