十四行詩 Sonnet 91
Some glory in their birth, some in their skill,
Some in their wealth, some in their bodies' force,
Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill,
Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse;
And every humour hath his adjunct pleasure,
Wherein it finds a joy above the rest:
But these particulars are not my measure;
All these I better in one general best.
Thy love is better than high birth to me,
Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' cost,
Of more delight than hawks or horses be;
And having thee, of all men's pride I boast:
Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take
All this away and me most wretched make.
有人誇耀門第，有人誇耀技巧，
有人誇耀財富，有人誇耀體力；
有人誇耀新妝，醜怪儘管時髦；
有人誇耀鷹犬，有人誇耀駿驥；
每種嗜好都各饒特殊的趣味，
每一種都各自以爲其樂無窮：
可是這些癖好都不合我口胃--
我把它們融入更大的樂趣中。
你的愛對我比門第還要豪華，
比財富還要豐裕，比豔妝光彩，
它的樂趣遠勝過鷹犬和駿馬；
有了你，我便可以笑傲全世界：
只有這點可憐：你隨時可罷免
我這一切，使我成無比的可憐。
