十四行詩 Sonnet 114
Or whether doth my mind, being crown'd with you,
Drink up the monarch's plague, this flattery?
Or whether shall I say, mine eye saith true,
And that your love taught it this alchemy,
To make of monsters and things indigest
Such cherubins as your sweet self resemble,
Creating every bad a perfect best,
As fast as objects to his beams assemble?
O,'tis the first; 'tis flattery in my seeing,
And my great mind most kingly drinks it up:
Mine eye well knows what with his gust is 'greeing,
And to his palate doth prepare the cup:
If it be poison'd, 'tis the lesser sin
That mine eye loves it and doth first begin.
是否我的心，既把你當王冠戴，
喝過帝王們的鴆毒--自我阿諛？
還是我該說，我眼睛說的全對，
因爲你的愛教會它這鍊金術，
使它能夠把一切蛇神和牛鬼
轉化爲和你一樣柔媚的天嬰，
把每個醜惡改造成盡善盡美，
只要事物在它的柔輝下現形？
哦，是前者；是眼睛的自我陶醉，
我偉大的心靈把它一口喝盡：
眼睛曉得投合我心靈的口味，
爲它準備好這杯可口的毒飲。
儘管杯中有毒，罪過總比較輕，
因爲先愛上它的是我的眼睛。
