十四行詩 Sonnet 30
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.
當我傳喚對已往事物的記憶
出庭於那馨香的默想的公堂，
我不禁為命中許多缺陷歎息，
帶着舊恨，重新哭蹉跎的時光；
於是我可以淹沒那枯涸的眼，
為了那些長埋在夜台的親朋，
哀悼着許多音容俱渺的美豔，
痛哭那情愛久已勾消的哀痛：
於是我為過去的惆悵而惆悵，
並且一一細算，從痛苦到痛苦，
那許多嗚咽過的嗚咽的舊賬，
彷彿還未付過，現在又來償付。
但是隻要那刻我想起你，摯友，
損失全收回，悲哀也化為烏有。
