约翰·但恩诗15首
约翰·但恩(John Donne,1572-1631,或译邓恩、邓、堂恩、唐恩、多恩、顿)是十七世纪英国“玄学诗派”的鼻祖。因其诗怪诞奇诡,不合正统,不入俗流,故长期得不到应有的评价。直到二十世纪初,其全集出版,才被重新“发现”,受到著名诗人托·斯·艾略特的极力推崇,一时间现代主义诗人纷纷仿效,学院学者孜孜研究,其地位日益上升,大有超过弥尔顿而直逼莎士比亚之势。无论如何,时至今日,但恩作为英国文学经典中的重要诗人的地位已无可置疑。
The Good-morrow
I wonder by my troth, what thou, and I
Did, till we lov'd? were we not wean'd till then?
But suck'd on countrey pleasures, childishly?
Or snorted we in the seaven sleepers den?
T'was so; But this, all pleasures fancies bee. 5
If ever any beauty I did see,
Which I desir'd, and got, t'was but a dreame of thee.
And now good morrow to our waking soules,
Which watch not one another out of feare;
For love, all love of other sights controules, 10
And makes one little roome, an every where.
Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone,
Let Maps to other, worlds on worlds have showne,
Let us possesse one world, each hath one, and is one.
My face in thine eye, thine in mine appeares, 15
And true plaine hearts doe in the faces rest,
Where can we finde two better hemispheares
Without sharpe North, without declining West?
What ever dyes, was not mixt equally;
If our two loves be one, or, thou and I 20
Love so alike, that none doe slacken, none can die.
早安
Song
Goe , and catche a falling starre,
Get with child a mandrake roote,
Tell me, where all past yeares are,
Or who cleft the Divels foot,
Teach me to heare Mermaides singing, 5
Or to keep off envies stinging,
And finde
What winde
Serves to advance an honest minde.
If thou beest borne to strange sights, 10
Things invisible to see,
Ride ten thousand daies and nights,
Till age snow white haires on thee,
Thou, when thou retorn'st, wilt tell mee
All strange wonders that befell thee, 15
And sweare
No where
Lives a woman true, and faire.
If thou findst one, let mee know,
Such a Pilgrimage were sweet, 20
Yet doe not, I would not goe,
Though at next doore wee might meet,
Though shee were true, when you met her,
And last, till you write your letter,
Yet shee 25
Will bee
False, ere I come, to two, or three.
歌
Womans Constancy
Now thou hast lov'd me one whole day,
To morrow when thou leav'st, what wilt thou say?
Wilt thou then Antedate some new made vow?
Or say that now
We are not just those persons, which we were? 5
Or, that oathes made in reverentiall feare
Of Love, and his wrath, any may forsweare?
Or, as true deaths, true maryages untie,
So lovers contracts, images of those,
Binde but till sleep, deaths image, them unloose? 10
Or, your owne end to Justifie,
For having purpos'd change, and falsehood; you
Can have no way but falsehood to be true?
Vaine lunatique, against these scapes I could
Dispute, and conquer, if I would, 15
Which I abstaine to doe,
For by to morrow, I may thinke so too.
女人的忠贞
现在你已经爱我整整一天了,
明天离去时,你会说些什么呢?
你是否会提前新编个什么谎言?
或者说目前
我们已不是从前的那两个恋人? 5
或者说,在对爱神的敬畏中,和爱神
震怒时所立的誓言,谁都可否认?
或者说,一如真死亡将真婚姻解除,
恋人间的契约,婚姻的影子,仅仅在
被睡眠,死亡的影子,解除前有效力? 10
或者说,为替自己的目的辩护,
由于有蓄意的变卦,和虚假,你
除了虚假就不能有表真诚的方式?
徒劳的疯子,我能够,只要我愿意,
反驳,且摧伏这些遁词,
不过我并不情愿这样,
因为到了明天,我也会如是想。
The Undertaking
I have done one braver thing
Then all the Worthies did,
And yet a braver thence doth spring,
Which is, to keepe that hid.
It were but madnes now t'impart 5
The skill of specular stone,
When he which can have learn'd the art,
To cut it, can finde none.
So, if I now should utter this,
Others (because no more 10
Such stuffe to worke upon, there is,)
Would love but as before.
But he who lovelinesse within
Hath found, all outward loathes,
For he who colour loves, and skinne, 15
Loves but their oldest clothes.
If, as I have, you also doe
Vertue' attir'd in woman see,
And dare love that, and say so too,
And forget the Hee and Shee; 20
And if this love, though placed so,
From prophane men you hide,
Which will no faith on this bestow,
Or, if they doe, deride:
Then you have done a braver thing 25
Then all the Worthies did,
And a braver thence will spring,
Which is, to keepe that hid.
担保
我干了一件杰出的事情,
胜过九豪杰的业绩,
由此又一件更杰出的派生,
那就是,保守这秘密。
如今传授云母加工术
不过是痴人说笑,
他,能学会切割的技术,
却无法找到石料。
所以,即使我现在就说破,
别人(因为,不再有
这样的材料可加工琢磨,)
恋爱也只会照旧。
但是发现了内在美之人
会鄙视一切外表,
因为爱颜色和皮肤之人 15
只喜爱最老的外套。
如果,像我所做过,你也
看到女色中的美德,
且敢于好德,敢于如是说,
而忘掉男女的差别; 20
如果你把这爱好深藏,
不让渎神者知道——
他们对此不会有信仰,
要么,只会有嘲笑,
那你就干了件杰出的事情,
胜过九豪杰的业绩,
由此又一件更杰出的派生,
那就是,保守这秘密。
The Sunne Rising
Busie old foole, unruly Sunne,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windowes, and through curtaines call on us?
Must to thy motions lovers seasons run?
Sawcy pedantique wretch, goe chide 5
Late schoole boyes, and sowre prentices,
Goe tell Court-huntsmen, that the King will ride,
Call countrey ants to harvest offices;
Love, all alike, no season knowes, nor clyme,
Nor houres, dayes, moneths, which are the rags of time. 10
Thy beames, so reverend, and strong
Why shouldst thou thinke?
I could eclipse and cloud them with a winke,
But that I would not lose her sight so long:
If her eyes have not blinded thine, 15
Looke, and to morrow late, tell mee,
Whether both the'India's of spice and Myne
Be where thou leftst them, or lie here with mee.
Aske for those Kings whom thou saw'st yesterday,
And thou shalt heare, All here in one bed lay. 20
She'is all States, and all Princes, I,
Nothing else is.
Princes doe but play us; compar'd to this,
All honor's mimique; All wealth alchimie.
Thou sunne art halfe as happy'as wee, 25
In that the world's contracted thus;
Thine age askes ease, and since thy duties bee
To warme the world, that's done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art every where;
This bed thy center is, these walls, thy spheare. 30
旭日
忙碌的老傻瓜,没规矩的太阳,
你为何要如此,
透过窗户、帘栊把我们窥视?
恋人的季节必与你运行相当?
没礼貌爱训人的家伙,去呵责
迟到的小学生、臭脸的伙计,
去告知宫廷猎手,国王将驰猎,
去召唤乡下的蚂蚁干收获的活计;
爱情,都一样,不知季节、气候,
或时刻、日月,这些时光的碎布头。
你的光芒,既威严,又强悍,
你为何自以为?
我可以一眨眼就把它蚀亏、遮蔽,
只是我不愿太久看不见她的脸:
她的眼若没把你的眼刺坏,
就去看,明天晚些时,告诉我,
那盛产香料黄金的两印度是在
你离开之处,还是在与我共卧。
去打听你昨天见过的君王的去向,
将听说,全在此睡在同一张床上。
她是众邦国,诸侯王,是我,
别的都不是。
诸侯王不过扮我们;与此相比,
一切荣誉是做戏,财富是假货。
太阳你只有我们一半乐,
眼看这世界竟缩小如此;
你年迈需要安逸;既然你职责
是温暖世界,那温暖我们就完事。
在这里照我们,你就无处不在了;
这床是中心,这四壁,你的轨道。 30
The Indifferent
I can love both faire and browne,
Her whom abundance melts, and her whom want betraies,
Her who loves lonenesse best, and her who maskes and plaies,
Her whom the country form'd, and whom the town,
Her who beleeves, and her who tries, 5
Her who still weepes with spungie eyes,
And her who is dry corke, and never cries;
I can love her, and her, and you and you,
I can love any, so she be not true.
Will no other vice content you? 10
Wil it not serve your turn to do, as did your mothers?
Or have you all old vices spent, and now would finde out others?
Or doth a feare, that men are true, torment you?
Oh we are not, be not you so,
Let mee, and doe you, twenty know. 15
Rob mee, but binde me not, and let me goe.
Must I, who came to travaile thorow you,
Grow your fixt subject, because you are true?
Venus heard me sigh this song,
And by Loves sweetest Part, Variety, she swore, 20
She heard not this till now; and that it should be so no more.
She went, examin'd, and return'd ere long,
And said, alas, Some two or three
Poore Heretiques in love there bee,
Which thinke to stablish dangerous constancie. 25
But I have told them, since you will be true,
You shall be true to them, who'are false to you.
无分别者
我可以白的、黑的都爱上,
既爱她丰腴欲化,也爱她不胜娇弱,
既爱她性喜孤独,也爱她嬉闹活泼,
既爱她乡下出身,也爱她城里生长,
既爱她轻信,也爱她多疑,
既爱她两眼似海绵,永远哭啼啼,
也爱她好像干木头,从来不啜泣;
我可以爱她,和她,还有你,和你,
我可以谁都爱,所以她不真心实意。
难道没别的恶习满足你们? 10
像你们母亲那样生活,不合心意?
抑或旧的恶习已用完,现在要找别的?
抑或内疚,恐怕男人动真心?
哦,我们才不呢,你们也不要,
让我,和你们,二十人都知道。
抢我,但不要绑我,再放我走掉。
难道我,来在你身上劳作苦辛,
就必须永久为奴,只因为你真心?
维纳斯听了我这一曲咏叹,
凭爱的最甘美部分——多样性,她发誓,
以前没有听过这歌调;以后不应再如此。
她出发,去考察,不久之后即回转,
说:“哎呀,有那么两三位
可怜的信奉邪说者在恋爱,
他们妄想要建立危险的专一。 25
可是我告诫过:‘既然你们用真心,
真心将付与假意待你们之人。’”
Loves Vsury
For every houre that thou wilt spare mee now,
I will allow,
Usurious God of Love, twenty to thee,
When with my browne, my gray haires equall bee;
Till then, Love, let my body raigne, and let 5
Mee travell, sojourne, snatch, plot, have, forget,
Resume my last yeares relict: thinke that yet
We'had never met.
Let mee thinke any rivalls letter mine,
And at next nine 10
Keepe midnights promise; mistake by the way
The maid, and tell the Lady of that delay;
Onely let mee love none, no, not the sport;
From country grasse, to comfitures of Court,
Or cities quelque choses, let report 15
My minde transport.
This bargaine's good; if when I'am old, I bee
Inflam'd by thee,
If thine owne honour, or my shame, or paine,
Thou covet most, at that age thou shalt gaine. 20
Doe thy will then, then subject and degree,
And fruit of love, Love I submit to thee,
Spare mee till then, I'll beare it, though she bee
One that loves mee.
爱的高利贷
你现在将出让给我的每一时刻,
我愿意许诺
到我的灰发与金发参半之时,
偿付给你,放高利贷的爱神,二十倍;
此前,爱神,让我的身体做主,让我
旅行、小住、抢掠、阴谋、占有、忘却,
捡回我去年的弃妇:心里却说
我们没见过。
让我把情敌的情书都当作我的,
在翌晨九时
履践夜半的允诺;顺便把女仆
搞到手,并告诉女主人迟误的缘故;
但让我谁也不爱,对,不要那游戏;
从乡间的青青芳草,到宫廷的蜜饯甜食,
或城市的精致小菜,任人非议
我纵情恣意。
这交易不错;如果年迈时,我
被你煽起火,
你贪求自己的荣誉,或我的耻辱,
或痛苦,那年岁你将收获最丰富。 20
就实行你的意愿吧,然后是对象和等级,
爱情的果实,爱神,我奉献给你,
宽限我到那时,我将结果,虽然她是
爱我的一位。
The Canonization
For Godsake hold your tongue, and let me love,
Or chide my palsie, or my gout,
My five gray haires, or ruin'd fortune flout,
With wealth your state, your minde with Arts improve,
Take you a course, get you a place, 5
Observe his honour, or his grace,
Or the Kings reall, or his stamped face
Contemplate, what you will, approve,
So you will let me love.
Alas, alas, who's injur'd by my love? 10
What merchants ships have my sighs drown'd?
Who saies my teares have overflow'd his ground?
When did my colds a forward spring remove?
When did the heats which my veines fill
Adde one more to the plaguie Bill? 15
Soldiers finde warres, and Lawyers finde out still
Litigious men, which quarrels move,
Though she and I do love.
Call us what you will, wee are made such by love;
Call her one, mee another flye, 20
We'are Tapers too, and at our owne cost die,
And wee in us finde the'Eagle and the Dove;
The Phoenix ridle hath more wit
By us, we two being one, are it,
So, to one neutrall thing both sexes fit. 25
Wee dye and rise the same, and prove
Mysterious by this love.
Wee can dye by it, if not live by love,
And if unfit for tombes and hearse
Our legends bee, it will be fit for verse; 30
And if no peece of Chronicle wee prove,
We'll build in sonnets pretty roomes;
As well a well wrought urne becomes
The greatest ashes, as halfe-acre tombes,
And by these hymnes, all shall approve 35
Us Canoniz'd for Love.
And thus invoke us; You whom reverend love
Made one anothers hermitage;
You, to whom love was peace, that now is rage;
Who did the whole worlds soule contract, and drove 40
Into the glasses of your eyes
So made such mirrors, and such spies,
That they did all to you epitomize,
Countries, Townes, Courts: Beg from above
A patterne of your love! 45
封圣
千万噤声别说话,且让我爱,
要么大骂我瘫痪,或痛风,
嘲笑我五根灰发,或衰败命运,
用财富改善地位,学问,心智,
找到你生路,得到你位置,
看达官眼色,拍贵人马屁,
或瞻仰国王真正的,或他铸制的
尊容;你愿要什么,就试试,
只要你肯让我爱。
咳呀呀,谁又被我的爱所伤害? 10
我的叹息吹翻了哪条船?
谁说我的泪水淹没了他地面?
我的冰冷何曾扼杀早春季?
充满我血脉的炽热何曾
给疫死名单多加一名姓? 15
士兵总是找仗打,律师则找寻
因争吵而诉诸官司的人们,
尽管她和我真相亲。
任你们怎么骂,我们被爱造就:
骂她是一飞蛾,骂我是另一只; 20
我们也是蜡烛,自付代价而死;
并且在自身发现鹰隼与鸽鸠;
不死鸟之谜因我们有更多
含义;我们俩合一,就是它。
对一个中性的事物两性都适合,
我们同样死复生,且以
这份爱证明神秘。
倘不能因爱生,我们可以因爱死;
倘若我们的传奇不适合
墓碑和棺盖,那将适合诗歌; 30
倘若我们不印证一段历史,
就将在情诗中建筑华屋;
精制的瓮如墓地半亩,
同样适合最伟大人物的遗骨;
凭这些赞诗,人人将赞成
我们已因爱封圣,
且如是求我们:“你们,被可敬的爱神
变成彼此的隐修道场者;
你们,认为爱曾是和平,如今是争斗者;
曾经缩小整个世界的灵魂,
把乡野、城镇、宫廷赶进
你们的眼睛(于是被造成
镜子、望远镜,给你们把一切缩映)
者:请代求上天恩赐
你们的恋爱模式!”
The Triple Foole
I am two fooles, I know,
For loving, and for saying so
In whining Poëtry;
But where's that wiseman, that would not be I,
If she would not deny? 5
Then as th'earths inward narrow crooked lanes
Do purge sea waters fretfull salt away,
I thought, if I could draw my paines,
Through Rimes vexation, I should them allay,
Griefe brought to numbers cannot be so fierce, 10
For, he tames it, that fetters it in verse.
But when I have done so,
Some man, his art and voice to show,
Doth Set and sing my paine,
And, by delighting many, frees againe 15
Griefe, which verse did restraine.
To Love, and Griefe tribute of Verse belongs,
But not of such as pleases when'tis read,
Both are increased by such songs:
For both their triumphs so are published, 20
And I, which was two fooles, do so grow three;
Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee.
三合傻子
我自知,是双料傻子,
一是因恋爱,二是因如是
用哀怨的诗歌诉说;
可是哪儿有那聪明人——那不会是我,
假如她不会拒绝? 5
如大地深处狭窄迂曲的巷洞
把海水的腐蚀性盐分过滤净化,
我想,如果能拖拽苦痛
穿过诗韵的苦恼,我理应减轻它。
被带入诗律的伤痛不可能太暴烈,
因为,他驯服,并把它锁入诗节。
但是,我如此做了后,
某人,为显示技艺和歌喉,
把我的痛苦谱曲唱,
在娱悦众人的过程中,重又释放 15
诗句所羁押的忧伤。
诗歌的贡献属于爱情和忧伤,
但不是读起来令人开心的诗篇;
二者被这种歌曲所增强:
因为二者的业绩被如此宣传;
而我,本双料傻子,又变成三合体;
谁要是聪明一点儿,就傻子数第一。

Loves Infinitenesse
If yet I have not all thy love,
Deare, I shall never have it all,
I cannot breath one other sigh, to move;
Nor can intreat one other teare to fall.
And all my treasure, which should purchase thee, 5
Sighs, teares and oathes, and letters I have spent,
Yet no more can be due to mee,
Then at the bargaine made was ment,
If then thy gift of love were partiall,
That some to mee, some should to others fall, 10
Deare, I shall never have Thee All.
Or if then thou gavest mee all,
All was but All, which thou hadst then,
But if in thy heart, since, there be or shall,
New love created bee, by other men, 15
Which have their stocks intire, and can in teares,
In sighs, in oathes, and letters outbid mee,
This new love may beget new feares,
For, this love was not vowed by thee.
And yet is was, thy gift being generall, 20
The ground, thy heart is mine, what ever shall
Grow there, deare, I should have it all.
Yet I would not have all yet,
Hee that hath all can have no more,
And since my love doth every day admit 25
New growth, thou shouldst have new rewards in store;
Thou canst not every day give me thy heart,
If thou canst give it, then thou never gavest it:
Loves riddles are, that though thy heart depart,
It stayes at home, and thou with losing savest it: 30
But wee will have a way more liberall,
Then changing hearts, to joyne them, so wee shall
Be one, and one anothers All.
爱的无限
如果我尚未拥有你全部爱,
亲爱的,我将永不会全拥有,
我不能用呼吸,再催动一声叹息,
也不能再恳求一滴眼泪坠流。
我所有资财,本应把你收买—— 5
我费的叹息、眼泪、情书和誓言,
却都意味着廉价出卖,
不再能够指望归还。
如果当时你的定情物是部分,
一些给我,一些竟给了别人, 10
亲爱的,我将永不会拥有你整个人。
或即便当时你给了我全部,
也只是当时你全部所有;
但假如你心里,此后,又有或将有
新的爱情被别的男人造就——
他们有完整的股份,能够在眼泪、
叹息、誓言、情书方面胜过我,
这新爱情就会产生新惧畏,
因为,这爱情未经你立誓约。
而且,那只是你的一般性礼物; 20
那块地,你的心属于我,那里生长出
什么,亲爱的,我都应拥有全部。
然而我还不想拥有全部,
有全部者就不能更多拥有;
既然我的爱情每天纳入
新收获,你就应当储备有新报酬;
你不能天天都把你的心给我;
假如你能给,那么你从不曾给出:
爱情的谜语是,虽然你的心离别,
但它仍在家;你因失去而保留。
但我们宁愿拥有一种方式,
比换心更豪放:把它们糅合在一起,
我们就成为一体,彼此的全体。
Song
Sweetest love, I do not goe,
For wearinesse of thee,
Nor in hope the world can show
A fitter Love for mee;
But since that I 5
Must dye at last, 'tis best,
To use my selfe in jest
Thus by fain'd deaths to dye;
Yesternight the Sunne went hence,
And yet is here to day, 10
He hath no desire nor sense,
Nor halfe so short a way:
Then feare not mee,
But beleeve that I shall make
Speedier journeyes, since I take 15
More wings and spurres then hee.
O how feeble is mans power,
That if good fortune fall,
Cannot adde another houre,
Nor a lost houre recall! 20
But come bad chance,
And wee joyne to'it our strength,
And wee teach it art and length,
It selfe o'r us to'advance.
When thou sigh'st, thou sigh'st not winde, 25
But sigh'st my soule away,
When thou weep'st, unkindly kinde,
My lifes blood doth decay.
It cannot bee
That thou lov'st mee, as thou say'st, 30
If in thine my life thou waste,
That is the best of mee.
Let not thy divining heart
Forethinke me any ill,
Destiny may take thy part, 35
And may thy feares fulfill;
But thinke that wee
Are but turn'd aside to sleepe;
They who one another keepe
Alive, ne'r parted bee. 40
歌
最甜蜜的爱,我不走,
不因对你生倦怠,
或希望这世界能够
给我个更合适的爱;
可既然我必 5
最终死去,就最好
拿我自己开玩笑,
这样靠装死而死。
昨晚太阳从此别,
可今日又在此处;
他既无欲望无知觉,
又无短一半的路:
那就别担心我,
而要相信我会跑得
更快,既然我带的
翅膀和马刺比他多。
哦,人力多微弱,
如果好运降临,
一钟点也不能增多,
也不能追回一时辰! 20
可厄运临降,
我们就给它加力度,
教给它技艺和长度,
以凌驾我们头上。
叹息时,你叹的不是气, 25
而是叹掉了我魂魄;
哭泣时,你好心似恶意,
我生命血液即枯竭。
那就不可能,
像你所说的,你爱我, 30
你若把你中我挥霍:
那是我最好的部分。
别让你占卜的心眼
预想我有何厄运;
命运会把你偏袒,
会实现你的担心;
但想想,我们
不过是侧翻身去睡觉;
保持彼此活命者
永远不会离分。
The Legacie
When I dyed last, and, Deare, I dye
As often as from thee I goe,
Though it be but an houre agoe,
And Lovers houres be full eternity,
I can remember yet, that I 5
Something did say, and something did bestow;
Though I be dead, which sent mee, I should be
Mine owne executor and Legacie.
I heard mee say, Tell her anon,
That my selfe, that's you, not I, 10
Did kill me, and when I felt mee dye,
I bid mee send my heart, when I was gone,
But I alas could there finde none,
When I had ripp'd me, 'and search'd where hearts did lye;
It kill'd mee againe, that I who still was true, 15
In life, in my last Will should cozen you.
Yet I found something like a heart,
But colours it, and corners had,
It was not good, it was not bad,
It was intire to none, and few had part. 20
As good as could be made by art
It seem'd, and therefore for our losses sad,
I meant to send this heart in stead of mine,
But oh, no man could hold it, for twas thine.
遗产
我上回死去时(亲爱的,我死亡
像与你离别一样频繁),
虽说那只是一小时以前,
恋人的每小时都仿佛地久天长, 5
但我还能记得,我当场
说过什么话,赠送过什么物件;
虽然我已死,但我派自己来,将身兼
本人自己的遗嘱执行人暨遗产。
我听见我说,“快给她去信,
说是我自己”(那是你,不是我)
“杀了我”;在感到要死的时刻,
我吩咐我在我逝去后,寄出我的心;
可是我呀,撕开我,在心
所在之处搜寻时,却一无所获;
这再次杀了我,因为我毕生诚实, 15
竟在最后的遗嘱中欺骗了你。
然而我找到了似心的某物品,
但它有许多颜色,和棱角;
既不算坏,也不算好;
无人专享,少数人拥有部分; 20
似乎被艺术造就得尽可能
美好。因此,为弥补可悲的损耗,
我意欲寄赠这颗心,以替代我的心,
可是哟,无人能保有它,因那是你的心。
A Feaver
Oh doe not die, for I shall hate
All women so, when thou art gone,
That thee I shall not celebrate,
When I remember, thou wast one.
But yet thou canst not die, I know; 5
To leave this world behinde, is death,
But when thou from this world wilt goe,
The whole world vapors with thy breath.
Or if, when thou, the worlds soule, goest,
It stay, tis but thy carkasse then, 10
The fairest woman, but thy ghost,
But corrupt wormes, the worthyest men.
O wrangling schooles, that search what fire
Shall burne this world, had none the wit
Unto this knowledge to aspire, 15
That this her feaver might be it?
And yet she cannot wast by this,
Nor long beare this torturing wrong,
For much corruption needfull is
To fuell such a feaver long. 20
These burning fits but meteors bee,
Whose matter in thee is soone spent.
Thy beauty, 'and all parts, which are thee,
Are unchangeable firmament.
Yet t'was of my minde, seising thee, 25
Though it in thee cannot persever.
For I had rather owner bee
Of thee one houre, then all else ever.
热病
哦,可别死,因为你逝去后,
我将把所有女人厌憎,
记起你是其中之一的时候,
连你,我也将不会赞颂。
然而你还不会死,我深知; 5
把世界撇在身后,才是死,
而在你从这世上离去时,
全世界将随你呼吸化为汽。
或假如,在你,世界的灵魂,
走后,它尚存,不过是你尸体, 10
最美丽的女人,不过是你鬼魂,
最杰出的男人,不过是腐蛆。
哦,争吵的各学派,探索
何等烈火将焚毁这人世,
却无一有才能来钻研这学科——
她这场热病也许就是?
然而她不会就此消逝,
也不会久受这不公的煎熬,
因为需要有许多腐质
供给这热病长期的燃料。
火烫的发作不过是流星,
你体内燃料很快就耗尽。
你的美,及所有部分,你本身,
则是不可变动的天穹。
然而抓住你,也是我心意,
虽然你体内热病难持久。
因为我宁可拥有你一小时,
也不愿把其它一切永占有。
Aire and Angels
Twice or thrice had I loved thee,
Before I knew thy face or name;
So in a voice, so in a shapelesse flame,
Angells affect us oft, and worship'd bee;
Still when, to where thou wert, I came, 5
Some lovely glorious nothing I did see.
But since my soule, whose child love is,
Takes limmes of flesh, and else could nothing doe,
More subtile then the parent is,
Love must not be, but take a body too, 10
And therefore what thou wert, and who
I bid Love aske, and now
That it assume thy body, I allow,
And fixe it selfe in thy lip, eye, and brow.
Whilst thus to ballast love, I thought, 15
And so more steddily to have gone,
With wares which would sinke admiration,
I saw, I had loves pinnace overfraught,
Ev'ry thy haire for love to worke upon
Is much too much, some fitter must be sought; 20
For, nor in nothing, nor in things
Extreme, and scatt'ring bright, can love inhere;
Then as an Angell, face, and wings
Of aire, not pure as it, yet pure doth weare,
So thy love may be my loves spheare; 25
Just such disparitie
As is twixt Aire and Angells puritie,
'Twixt womens love, and mens will ever bee.
Breake of Day
'Tis true, 'tis day, what though it be?
O wilt thou therefore rise from me?
Why should we rise, because 'tis light?
Did we lie downe, because 'twas night?
Love which in spight of darknesse brought us hether, 5
Should in despight of light keepe us together.
Light hath no tongue, but is all eye;
If it could speake as well as spie,
This were the worst, that it could say,
That being well, I faine would stay, 10
And that I lov'd my heart and honor so,
That I would not from him, that had them, goe.
Must businesse thee from hence remove?
Oh, that's the worst disease of love,
The poore, the foule, the false, love can 15
Admit, but not the busied man.
He which hath businesse, and makes love, doth doe
Such wrong, as when a maryed man doth wooe.
