Like as, to make our appetites more keen,

　　好比我們為了促使食欲增進，

　　With eager compounds we our palate urge,

　　用種種辛辣調味品刺激胃口;

　　As, to prevent our maladies unseen,

　　又好比服清瀉劑以預防大病，

　　We sicken to shun sickness when we purge,

　　用較輕的病截斷重癥的根由;

　　Even so, being full of your ne'er-cloying sweetness,

　　同樣，飽嘗了你的不膩人的甜蜜，

　　To bitter sauces did I frame my feeding

　　我選上苦醬來當作我的食料;

　　And, sick of welfare, found a kind of meetness

　　厭倦了健康，覺得病也有意思，

　　To be diseased ere that there was true needing.

　　盡管我還沒有到生病的必要。

　　Thus policy in love, to anticipate

　　這樣，為采用先發制病的手段，

　　The ills that were not, grew to faults assured

　　愛的策略變成了真實的過失：

　　And brought to medicine a healthful state

　　我對健康的身體亂投下藥丹，

　　Which, rank of goodness, would by ill be cured:

　　用痛苦來把過度的幸福療治。

　　But thence I learn, and find the lesson true,

　　但我由此取得這真正的教訓：

　　Drugs poison him that so fell sick of you.

　　藥也會變毒，誰若因愛你而生病。

　　莎士比亞英文詩歌4、

　　What potions have I drunk of Siren tears,

　　我曾喝下了多少鮫人的淚珠

　　Distill'd from limbecks foul as hell within,

　　從我心中地獄般的鍋里蒸出來，

　　Applying fears to hopes and hopes to fears,

　　把恐懼當希望，又把希望當恐懼，

　　Still losing when I saw myself to win!

　　眼看著要勝利，結果還是失敗!

　　What wretched errors hath my heart committed,

　　我的心犯了多少可憐的錯誤，

　　Whilst it hath thought itself so blessed never!

　　正好當它自以為再幸福不過;

　　How have mine eyes out of their spheres been fitted

　　我的眼睛怎樣地從眼眶躍出，

　　In the distraction of this madding fever!

　　當我被瘋狂昏亂的熱病折磨!

　　O benefit of ill! now I find true

　　哦，壞事變好事!我現在才知道

　　That better is by evil still made better;

　　善的確常常因惡而變得更善!

　　And ruin'd love, when it is built anew,

　　被摧毀的愛，一旦重新修建好，

　　Grows fairer than at first, more strong, far greater.

　　就比原來更宏偉、更美、更強頑。

　　So I return rebuked to my content

　　因此，我受了譴責，反心滿意足;

　　And gain by ill thrice more than I have spent.

　　因禍，我獲得過去的三倍幸福。

　　Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

　　你可量它多高，它所值卻無窮。

　　Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

　　I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

　　就算我沒寫詩，也沒人真愛過。
