莎士比亚十四行诗集之一百四十七
The Sonnet 147
by William Shakespeare
My love is as a fever longing still,
For that which longer nurseth the disease,
Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill,
Th' uncertain sickly appetite to please:
My reason the physician to my love,
Angry that his prescriptions are not kept
Hath left me, and I desperate now approve,
Desire is death, which physic did except.
Past cure I am, now reason is past care,
And frantic-mad with evermore unrest,
My thoughts and my discourse as mad men's are,
At random from the truth vainly expressed.
For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright,
Who art as black as hell, as dark as night.
莎士比亚十四行诗集之一百四十七
莎士比亚
我的爱是一种热病,它老切盼
那能够使它长期保养的单方,
服食一种能维持病状的药散,
使多变的病态食欲长久盛旺。
理性(那医治我的爱情的医生)
生气我不遵守他给我的嘱咐,
把我扔下,使我绝望,因为不信
医药的欲望,我知道,是条死路。
我再无生望,既然丧失了理智,
整天都惶惑不安、烦躁、疯狂;
无论思想或谈话,全像个疯子,
脱离了真实,无目的,杂乱无章;
因为我曾赌咒说你美,说你璀璨,
你却是地狱一般黑,夜一般暗。
(梁宗岱 译)
