莎翁十四行詩 sonnet 1 |
1. |
FROM fairest creatures we desire increase, |
|
2. |
That thereby beauty's rose might never die, |
3. |
But as the riper should by time decease, |
4. |
His tender heir might bear his memory: |
5. |
But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes, |
6. |
Feed'st thy light'st flame with self-substantial fuel, |
7. |
Making a famine where abundance lies, |
8. |
Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel. |
9. |
Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament |
10. |
And only herald to the gaudy spring, |
11. |
Within thine own bud buriest thy content |
12. |
And, tender churl, makest waste in niggarding. |
13. |
Pity the world, or else this glutton be, |
14. |
To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee. |
