十四行詩 Sonnet 36
Let me confess that we two must be twain,
Although our undivided loves are one:
So shall those blots that do with me remain
Without thy help by me be borne alone.
In our two loves there is but one respect,
Though in our lives a separable spite,
Which though it alter not love's sole effect,
Yet doth it steal sweet hours from love's delight.
I may not evermore acknowledge thee,
Lest my bewailed guilt should do thee shame,
Nor thou with public kindness honour me,
Unless thou take that honour from thy name:
But do not so; I love thee in such sort
As, thou being mine, mine is thy good report.
讓我承認我們倆一定要分離，
儘管我們那分不開的愛是一體：
這樣，許多留在我身上的瑕疵，
將不用你分擔，由我獨自承起。
你我的相愛全出於一片至誠，
儘管不同的生活把我們隔開，
這縱然改變不了愛情的真純，
卻偷掉許多密約佳期的歡快。
我再也不會高聲認你做知己，
生怕我可哀的罪過使你含垢，
你也不能再當衆把我來讚美，
除非你甘心使你的名字蒙羞。
可別這樣做；我既然這樣愛你，
你是我的，我的榮光也屬於你。
