Some glory in their birth, some in their skill,

　　有人夸耀門第，有人夸耀技巧，

　　Some in their wealth, some in their bodies' force,

　　有人夸耀財富，有人夸耀體力;

　　Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill,

　　有人夸耀新妝，丑怪盡管時髦;

　　Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse;

　　有人夸耀鷹犬，有人夸耀駿驥;

　　And every humour hath his adjunct pleasure,

　　每種嗜好都各饒特殊的趣味，

　　Wherein it finds a joy above the rest:

　　每一種都各自以為其樂無窮：

　　But these particulars are not my measure;

　　可是這些癖好都不合我口胃--

　　All these I better in one general best.

　　我把它們融入更大的樂趣中。

　　Thy love is better than high birth to me,

　　你的愛對我比門第還要豪華，

　　Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' cost,

　　比財富還要豐裕，比艷妝光彩，

　　Of more delight than hawks or horses be;

　　它的樂趣遠勝過鷹犬和駿馬;

　　And having thee, of all men's pride I boast:

　　有了你，我便可以笑傲全世界：

　　Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take

　　只有這點可憐：你隨時可罷免

　　All this away and me most wretched make.

　　我這一切，使我成無比的可憐。

　　How sweet and lovely dost thou make the shame

　　恥辱被你弄成多溫柔多可愛!

　　Which, like a canker in the fragrant rose,

　　Doth spot the beauty of thy budding name!

　　它把你含苞欲放的美名污敗!

　　O, in what sweets dost thou thy sins enclose!

　　哦，多少溫馨把你的罪過遮蒙!

　　That tongue that tells the story of thy days,

　　那講述你的生平故事的長舌，

　　Making lascivious comments on thy sport,

　　想對你的娛樂作淫猥的評論，

　　Cannot dispraise but in a kind of praise;

　　只能用一種贊美口氣來貶責：

　　Naming thy name blesses an ill report.

　　一提起你名字，誣蔑也變諂佞。

　　O, what a mansion have those vices got

　　哦，那些罪過找到了多大的華廈，

　　Which for their habitation chose out thee,

　　當它們把你挑選來作安樂窩，

　　Where beauty's veil doth cover every blot,

　　在那兒美為污點披上了輕紗，

　　And all things turn to fair that eyes can see!

　　在那兒觸目的一切都變清和!

　　Take heed, dear heart, of this large privilege;

　　警惕呵，心肝，為你這特權警惕;

　　The hardest knife ill-used doth lose his edge.

　　Thou canst not vex me with inconstant mind,

　　你的反復再也不能使我頹喪，

　　Since that my life on thy revolt doth lie.

　　既然你一反臉我生命便完畢。

　　O, what a happy title do I find,

　　哦，我找到了多么幸福的保障：

　　Happy to have thy love, happy to die!

　　幸福地享受你的愛，幸福地死去!

　　But what's so blessed-fair that fears no blot?

　　但人間哪有不怕玷污的美滿?

　　你可以變心腸，同時對我隱瞞。

　　莎士比亞英文詩歌3

　　So shall I live, supposing thou art true,

　　于是我將活下去，認定你忠貞，

　　Like a deceived husband; so love's face

　　像被騙的丈夫，于是愛的面目

　　May still seem love to me, though alter'd new;

　　對我仍舊是愛，雖則已翻了新;

　　Thy looks with me, thy heart in other place:

　　眼睛盡望著我，心兒卻在別處：

　　For there can live no hatred in thine eye,

　　憎恨既無法存在于你的眼里，

　　Therefore in that I cannot know thy change.

　　我就無法看出你心腸的改變。

　　In many's looks the false heart's history

　　許多人每段假情假義的歷史

　　Is writ in moods and frowns and wrinkles strange,

　　都在顰眉、蹙額或氣色上表現;

　　But heaven in thy creation did decree

　　但上天造你的時候早已注定

　　That in thy face sweet love should ever dwell;

　　柔情要永遠在你的臉上逗留;

　　Whate'er thy thoughts or thy heart's workings be,

　　不管你的心怎樣變幻無憑準，

　　Thy looks should nothing thence but sweetness tell.

　　你眼睛只能訴說旖旎和溫柔。

　　How like Eve's apple doth thy beauty grow,

　　你的嫵媚會變成夏娃的蘋果，

　　if thy sweet virtue answer not thy show!

　　如果你的美德跟外表不配合。

　　They rightly do inherit heaven's graces

　　誰就恰當地承受上天的恩寵，

　　And husband nature's riches from expense;

　　善于貯藏和保管造化的財富;

　　They are the lords and owners of their faces,
