十四行詩 Sonnet 117
Accuse me thus: that I have scanted all
Wherein I should your great deserts repay,
Forgot upon your dearest love to call,
Whereto all bonds do tie me day by day;
That I have frequent been with unknown minds
And given to time your own dear-purchased right
That I have hoisted sail to all the winds
Which should transport me farthest from your sight.
Book both my wilfulness and errors down
And on just proof surmise accumulate;
Bring me within the level of your frown,
But shoot not at me in your waken'd hate;
Since my appeal says I did strive to prove
The constancy and virtue of your love.
請這樣控告我：說我默不作聲，
儘管對你的深恩我應當酬謝；
說我忘記向你繾綣的愛慰問，
儘管我對你依戀一天天密切；
說我時常和陌生的心靈來往，
爲偶爾機緣斷送你寶貴情誼；
說我不管什麼風都把帆高揚，
任它們把我吹到天涯海角去。
請把我的任性和錯誤都記下，
在真憑實據上還要積累嫌疑，
把我帶到你的顰眉蹙額底下，
千萬別喚醒怨毒來把我射死；
因爲我的訴狀說我急於證明
你對我的愛多麼忠貞和堅定。
