莎士比亚十四行诗全集：Sonnet 83(mp3+双语)

I never saw that you did painting need
我从不觉得你需要涂脂荡粉，
And therefore to your fair no painting set;
因而从不用脂粉涂你的朱颜；
I found, or thought I found, you did exceed
我发觉，或以为发觉，你的丰韵
The barren tender of a poet's debt;
远超过诗人献你的无味缱绻：
And therefore have I slept in your report,
因此，关于你我的歌只装打盹，
That you yourself being extant well might show
好让你自己生动地现身说法，
How far a modern quill doth come too short,
证明时下的文笔是多么粗笨，
Speaking of worth, what worth in you doth grow.
想把美德，你身上的美德增华。
This silence for my sin you did impute,
你把我这沉默认为我的罪行，
Which shall be most my glory, being dumb;
其实却应该是我最大的荣光；
For I impair not beauty being mute,
因为我不作声于美丝毫无损，
When others would give life and bring a tomb.
别人想给你生命，反把你埋葬。
There lives more life in one of your fair eyes
你的两位诗人所模拟的赞美，
Than both your poets can in praise devise.

远不如你一只慧眼所藏的光辉。
