莎士比亚十四行诗

Sonnet #16
But wherefore do not you a mightier way
Make war upon this bloody tyrant, Time?
And fortify yourself in your decay
With means more blessed than my barren rhyme?
Now stand you on the top of happy hours,
And many maiden gardens yet unset
With virtuous wish would bear your living flowers,
Much liker than your painted counterfeit:
So should the lines of life that life repair,
Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil pen,
Neither in inward worth nor outward fair,
Can make you live yourself in eyes of men.
To give away yourself keeps yourself still,
And you must live, drawn by your own sweet skill.

Sonnet #17
Who will believe my verse in time to come,
If it were fill'd with your most high deserts?
Though yet heaven knows it is but as a tomb
Which hides your life, and shows not half your parts.
If I could write the beauty of your eyes,
And in fresh numbers number all your graces,
The age to come would say 'This poet lies;
Such heavenly touches ne'er touch'd earthly faces.'
So should my papers, yellow'd with their age,
Be scorn'd, like old men of less truth than tongue,
And your true rights be term'd a poet's rage
And stretched metre of an antique song:
But were some child of yours alive that time,
You should live twice, in it, and in my rhyme.
2、were:should be.deserts:merits；注意大利deserts 与 parts同韵（当时 er 的读音与 ar 相同，恰如今日之 clerk,serjeant).
3、it:i.e. my verse.as:like.tomb:monument；与第1行come 押韵。
4、parts:good qualities.
5、write:describe in writing.
6、fresh numbers:lively verses.number(v.):(1)celebrate；(2)enumerate.注意 numbers number 为一对半谐音（assonance).
7、The age to come:The future generations.
8、touches:(1)strokes of the brush，笔触；(2)traits,features,姿色。ne'er:never.touched:(1)delineated；(2)reached，这里 touches,touched 又是一对半谐音。earthly:humen.
9、should:would.papers:writings.
10、scorned:taunted；嘲笑，奚落。less truth than tongue:less facts than words，话儿多实情少。
11、true rights:deserved praise.rage:madness；从古代直到十八世纪，西方常言诗人灵感是一种疯狂，所谓 a fine frenzy,an enthusiasm（神附于体）。
12、stretched meter:poetic overcolouring,诗体的虚饰夸张。antique:old,bygone.
13、that time:then.
14、live twice:live a double life.it:i.e. your child.rhyme:verse.
If it were fill'd with your most high deserts?

Which hides your life, and shows not half your parts.

Sonnet #18 updated
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
第18、19首着重描写友人的美貌，同时重申要用自己的诗使他与天地共存。
1，2、thee,Thou:又开始用thou 称呼对方，是另一组诗的标志。
3、shake:shake off.May：英国1751年历法改革以前的五月相当于今天的五月中旬至六月中旬，时间晚半个月，故而属夏季。
4、lease:allotted time：期限，租赁使用期，系法律用语。date:duration，持续时间，亦是法律用语。
5、Sometime:Sometimes.the eye of heaven:i.e. the sun,参见33.2注。
6、his:its；但亦可理解为将太阳人格化，参见7.2注。complexion:colour and appearance.dimmed:clouded.
7、fair from fair:(1)beautiful thing from beauty；(2)beautiful face from being beautiful.注意此处两个fair 意义不同。
8、chance:fortune,good of ill；时缘，时运。course:order or process.untrimmed:stripped of its beauty(trimmed-adorned).此行系倒装句。
10、lose:Q 作“loose"，当时为lose 的又一拼法。fair thou ow'st:beauty you own；莎士比亚时 owe 与 own 通用，意为“享有”。
11、brag 后面省略 that.his shade:the shadow of death.
12、eternal lines:lines of immortal verse.to time thou grow'st:you grow as long as time lasts(grow to =be incorporated with).
14、this:i.e. my poetry.life:immortality.

Sonnet #19
Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
And burn the long-liv'd phoenix, in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet'st,
And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;
But I forbid thee one most heinous crime:
O! carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow,
Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen;
Him in thy course untainted do allow
For beauty's pattern to succeeding men.
Yet, do thy worst old Time: despite thy wrong,
My love shall in my verse ever live young.
此首承上首，直接向“时间”讲话，宣称友人将在自己的诗中长存。
1、blunt:make less sharp.
2、brood:young living creatures.

4、phoenix:长生鸟，希腊传说中的埃及神鸟，每660年自焚而死，然后由灰中再生，象征不朽。in her blood:alive.

6、whate'er:whatever.
7、her:i.e. the world's.sweets:fair things，参见12.11注。
9、carve...brow:在额上刻下皱纹。
10、Nor draw no lines:Nor darw lines；双重否定，系伊丽莎白时代英语的习惯用法。antique:（1)old；(2)fantastic.
11、Him:这是莎士比亚第一次点明前126首十四行诗写的是一位男友。course:progress，指“时间”的飞逝过程。untainted:untouched,unspoilt(taint 原为比武用语，指长矛比武中的一击）。此行正常语序为：Do allow him to be untainted in your course.
12、For:To be.beauty's pattern: a pattern of beauty,美的典范。men:男人。
13、wrong: wrong-doing,evil act.
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
And burn the long-liv'd phoenix, in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet'st,
And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;

Sonnet #20
A woman's face with nature's own hand painted,
Hast thou, the master mistress of my passion;
A woman's gentle heart, but not acquainted
With shifting change, as is false women's fashion:
An eye more bright than theirs, less false in rolling,
Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth;
A man in hue all hues in his controlling,
Which steals men's eyes and women's souls amazeth.
And for a woman wert thou first created;
Till Nature, as she wrought thee, fell a-doting,
And by addition me of thee defeated,
By adding one thing to my purpose nothing.
But since she prick'd thee out for women's pleasure,
Mine be thy love and thy love's use their treasure.
第20-25首继续歌颂友人天赋的美貌，同时表达自己对他诚挚的爱。

6、Gilding:Lighting up (like the sun)，参见33.2注。whereupon:on which.
7、hue:form.in his controlling:at his command.此行可意译为：Aman in form--all forms(i.e. people of both sexes)are subject to his power.
8、Which:代 his hue，亦即“他的风姿”。steals:attracts.amazeth:overwhelms with wonder；women's souls是其宾语。
9、for a woman:to be a woman.

14、Mine be thy love:Let your love be mine.thy love's use their treasure:let the privilege of using your love be women's.

Sonnet #21
So is it not with me as with that Muse,
Stirred by a painted beauty to his verse,
Who heaven itself for ornament doth use
And every fair with his fair doth rehearse,
Making a couplement of proud compare
With sun and moon, with earth and sea's rich gems,
With April's first-born flowers, and all things rare,
That heaven's air in this huge rondure hems.
O! let me, true in love, but truly write,
And then believe me, my love is as fair
As any mother's child, though not so bright
As those gold candles fixed in heaven's air:
Let them say more that like of hearsay well;
I will not praise that purpose not to sell.
1、So is it not:It is mot so.muse:poet.此行可意译为I am not like the other poet.这里莎士比亚开始批评另一个诗人，参见第78-90首。

3、=Who uses heaven itself as an ornamen.Who指that muse.
4、every fair with his fair:everthing that is beautiful in connection with the beautiful subject of his poem(his beautiful one)；这嚅第一个fair 指“美物”，第二个fair 指他诗中赞颂的“美人”。rehearse:mention（但亦含 repeat 之义）。
5、cuoplementLcombination.proud compare:extravagant comparisons,浮夸的比喻。
7、flow'rs:flwers.rare:splendid,precious.
8、heaven's air:space.rondure:sphere,globe.bems:encircles.此行词语浮华，用以嘲讽另一个计人浮华的诗风，其原意仅是 in the world.
9、true in love:who am true in love.truly write:write the truth.
12、gold candles:指 stars.heaven's air,重复第8行 heaven's air.
13、that:who.like of :loke.hearsay:unverified common talk.

My glass shall not persuade me I am old,
So long as youth and thou are of one date;
But when in thee time's furrows I behold,
Then look I death my days should expiate.
For all that beauty that doth cover thee,
Is but the seemly raiment of my heart,
Which in thy breast doth live, as thine in me:
How can I then be elder than thou art?
O! therefore love, be of thyself so wary
As I, not for myself, but for thee will;
Bearing thy heart, which I will keep so chary
As tender nurse her babe from faring ill.
Presume not on thy heart when mine is slain,

As an unperfect actor on the stage,
Who with his fear is put beside his part,
Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage,
Whose strength's abundance weakens his own heart;
So I, for fear of trust, forget to say
The perfect ceremony of love's rite,
And in mine own love's strength seem to decay,
O'ercharg'd with burthen of mine own love's might.
O! let my looks be then the eloquence
And dumb presagers of my speaking breast,
Who plead for love, and look for recompense,
More than that tongue that more hath more express'd.

Mine eye hath play'd the painter and hath steel'd,
Thy beauty's form in table of my heart;
My body is the frame wherein 'tis held,
And perspective it is best painter's art.
For through the painter must you see his skill,
To find where your true image pictur'd lies,
Which in my bosom's shop is hanging still,
That hath his windows glazed with thine eyes.
Now see what good turns eyes for eyes have done:
Mine eyes have drawn thy shape, and thine for me
Are windows to my breast, where-through the sun
Delights to peep, to gaze therein on thee;
Yet eyes this cunning want to grace their art,
They draw but what they see, know not the heart.

Let those who are in favour with their stars
Of public honour and proud titles boast,
Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars
Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most.
Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread
But as the marigold at the sun's eye,
And in themselves their pride lies buried,
For at a frown they in their glory die.

Lord of my love, to whom in vassalage
Thy merit hath my duty strongly knit,
To thee I send this written embassage,
To witness duty, not to show my wit:
Duty so great, which wit so poor as mine
May make seem bare, in wanting words to show it,
But that I hope some good conceit of thine
In thy soul's thought, all naked, will bestow it:
Till whatsoever star that guides my moving,
Points on me graciously with fair aspect,
And puts apparel on my tottered loving,
To show me worthy of thy sweet respect:
Then may I dare to boast how I do love thee;
Till then, not show my head where thou mayst prove me.

Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,
The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;
But then begins a journey in my head
To work my mind, when body's work's expired:
For then my thoughts--from far where I abide--
Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee,
And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,
Looking on darkness which the blind do see:
Save that my soul's imaginary sight
Presents thy shadow to my sightless view,
Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night,
Makes black night beauteous, and her old face new.
Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind,
For thee, and for myself, no quiet find.

How can I then return in happy plight,
That am debarred the benefit of rest?
When day's oppression is not eas'd by night,
But day by night and night by day oppress'd,
And each, though enemies to either's reign,
Do in consent shake hands to torture me,
The one by toil, the other to complain
How far I toil, still farther off from thee.
I tell the day, to please him thou art bright,
And dost him grace when clouds do blot the heaven:

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,

Sonnet #30 updated
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoanèd moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.

I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoanèd moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.
