十方《莎士比亚十四行诗》第117、第118首
远山之巅，星穹之下。邂逅君子，温其如玉。
指控我吧，说我默不作声，尽管我当酬你的深恩；我竟忘记了对你的挚爱慰问，日复一日被这欠债套紧；说我时常和陌生人交往，为一时的缘分断送你珍贵的情意；无论什么风都杨帆起航，任它吹走我与你远离；请记下我所有的任性和错误，依真凭实据来加以推理；你可以皱眉蹙额向我发怒，但别一时仇恨而将我射毙；因为我的申诉是在尽力证明，你对爱的坚定和忠贞。Sonnet 117Accuse me thus: that I have scanted allWherein I should your great deserts repay,Forgot upon your dearest love to call,Whereto all bonds do tie me day by day;That I have frequent been with unknown minds,And given to time your own dear-purchas'd right;That I have hoisted sail to all the windsWhich should transport me farthest from your sight.Book both my wilfulness and errors down,And on just proof surmise accumulate;Bring me within the level of your frown,But shoot not at me in your waken'd hate;Since my appeal says I did strive to proveThe constancy and virtue of your love.118
好比我们为了让食欲更甚，用各种辛辣的味道来刺激；又好比预防未知的疾病，委顿不堪，服用泻剂；同样，饱餐了你百看不厌的秀色，我打算尝尝苦汁；幸福的腻了，需要时，病上一次，也是一种惬意；这样，那爱的策略，为了防止，未发的疾病，反而成了真正的过失；乱下药物于健康的身体，将善用恶来医治；由此我得到了真正的教训，那药正毒倒为你相思致病的人。Sonnet 118Like as, to make our appetites more keen,With eager compounds we our palate urge;As, to prevent our maladies unseen,We sicken to shun sickness when we purge;Even so, being full of your ne'er-cloying sweetness,To bitter sauces did I frame my feeding;And, sick of welfare, found a kind of meetnessTo be diseas'd ere that there was true needing.Thus policy in love, to anticipateThe ills that were not, grew to faults assur'dAnd brought to medicine a healthful state,Which, rank of goodness, would by ill be cur'd;But thence I learn, and find the lesson true,Drugs poison him that so fell sick of you.
