William Shakespeare - The Sonnets (152) 汉译

CLII<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

In loving thee thou know’st I am forsworn,

But thou art twice forsworn to me love swearing,

In act thy bed-vow broke and new faith torn,

In vowing new hate after new love bearing:

But why of two oaths’ breach do I accuse thee,

When I break twenty? I am perjured most,

For all my vows are oaths but to misuse thee:

And all my honest faith in thee is lost.

For I have sworn deep oaths of thy deep kindness:

Oaths of thy love, thy truth, thy constancy,

And to enlighten thee gave eyes to blindness,

Or made them swear against the thing they see.

For I have sworn thee fair: more perjured I,

To swear against the truth so foul a be.

152

你知道我对你的爱并不可靠，

但你赌咒爱我，这话更靠不住；

你撕掉床头盟，又把新约毁掉，

既结了新欢，又种下新的憎恶。

但我为什么责备你两番背盟，

自己却背了二十次！最反复是我；

我对你一切盟誓都只是滥用，

因而对于你已经失尽了信约。

我曾矢口作证你对我的深爱：

说你多热烈、多忠诚、永不变卦，

我使眼睛失明，好让你显光彩，

教眼睛发誓，把眼前景说成虚假--

　　我发誓说你美！还有比这荒唐：

　　抹煞真理去坚持那么黑的谎！
