That's newly sprung in June.

O, my love's like the melody,

That's sweetly played in tune.

As fair art than my bonny lass,

So deep in love am I,

And I will love thee still my dear,

Till a' the sea gang dry.

Till a' the sea gang dry, my dear,

And rocks melt wi'the sun!

And I will love thee still, my dear,

While the sands a' life shall run.

And take thee weel, my only love!

And take the weel a while!

And I will come again, me love,

Though it were then thousand mile

2. She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies,

And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes,

Thus mellow'd to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

( Byron "She Walks in Beauty")

All women born are so perverse

No man need boast their love possessing

If nought seem better, nothing's worse:

All women born are so perverse.

From Adam's wife, that proved a curse

Though God had meant for a blessing,

All women born are so perverse

No man need boast their love possessing.

(Robert Bridges "Triolet")

3. Историческая справка теории происхождения Дня Святого Валентина

На сцену выходят двое ведущих:

1 ведущий: There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine's, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February the fourteenth, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legends also says that St. Valentines left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine".

2 ведущий: Other aspects of the story say that St. Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems simple gifts such as flowers and candy.

4. Конкурс знатоков традиций, связанных с этим праздником.

Команды готовятся к этому конкурсу заранее: к каждой традиции готовят иллюстрации.

1. Hundreds of years ago in England, many children dressed up as adults on Valentine's Day. They went singing from home to home/ One verse they sang was:

Good morning to you, Valentine;

Curl your locks as I do mine -

Two before and three behind.

Good morning to you, Valentine.

2. In Wales wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on February 14^th. Hearts, keys and keyholes were favourite decorations on the spoons. The decoration meant, "You unlock my heart!"

3. In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from the bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeve for one week. To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling.

4. In some countries a young woman can receive a gift of clothing from a young man. If she keeps the gift, it means she will marry him.

5. Some people used to believe that a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, would marry a millionaire.

6. A love seat is a wide chair. It was first made to sit one woman and her wide dress. Later, the love seat or courting seat had two sections, often in S-shape. In this way, a couple could sit together - but not too closely!

7. Think of 5 or 6 names of boys or girls you might marry. As you twist the stem of an apple, recite the names until the stem comes off. You will marry the person whose name you were saying when the stem fell off.

8. Pick a dandelion that has gone to seed. Take a deep breath and blow the seeds into the wind. Count the seeds that remain on the stem. That is the number of children you will have.

9. If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will also know how many children you will have.

10. On the eve of festival of Lupercalia the names of Roman girls were written on slips of paper and placed into jars. Each young man would draw a girl's name from the jar and would then be partners for the duration of the festival with the girl he chose.

6. Инсценированная постановка истории Дня Святого Валентина

Пока участники конкурса эрудитов работают с текстом, на сцену выходит один из ведущих в костюме священника Римской империи (по ходу рассказа декорации меняются).

Let me introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I live in Rome during the third century. That was long, long ago! At that time, Rome was ruled by an Emperor named Claudius. I didn't like Emperor Claudius, and I wasn't the only one!

A lot of people shared my feelings.

Claudius wanted to have a big army. He expected men to volunteer to join. Many men just didn't want to fight in wars. They didn't want to leave their families and wives. As you might have guessed, not many men signed up. This made Claudius furious. So what happened? He had a crazy idea. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So Claudius decided not to allow any more marriages. Young people thought his new law was cruel. I certainly wasn't going to support this law!

Did I mention that I was a priest? One of my favourite activities was to marry couples? Even after Emperor Claudius passed the law, I kept on performing marriage ceremonies - secretly, of course. It was really quite exciting!

Imagine a small candlelit room with only the bride and groom and myself. We would wisper the words of the ceremony, listening all the while for the steps of the soldiers.

One night, we did hear footsteps. It was scary! Thank goodness the couple I was marrying escaped in time. I was caught. (Not quite as light on my feet as I used to be, I guess.) I was thrown in jail and told that my punishment was death.

I tried to stay cheerful. And do you know what? Wonderful things happened. Many young people came to the jail to visit me. They threw flowers and notes up to my window. They wanted me to know that they, too, believed in love.

One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Her father allowed her to visit me in the cell. Sometimes we would sit and talk for hours. She helped me to keep my spirits up. She agreed that I did the right thing by ignoring the Emperor and going ahead with the secret marriages. On the day I was die, I left my friend a little note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. I signed it, "Love from your Valentine".

I believe that note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine's Day. It was written on the day I died, February 14, 269 A.D. Now, every year on this day, people remember. But most importantly, they think about love and friendship. And when they think of Emperor Claudius, they remember how he tried to stand in the way of love, and they laugh - because they know that love can't be beaten!
