SONNET 116

 

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments.

Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

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

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

Within his bending sickle's compass come:

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

 

莫讓我 向真摯心靈的結合
承認障礙。愛不是愛
愛若見異思遷  見風轉舵

隨彼之變而變，就不是愛：
哦，那不是愛！愛是岸標，永遠堅定，
凝 視著狂濤而不動搖；
愛是嚮導迷航船隻的星芒，
高度可測，實價無量。
愛不受時光影響，即使紅唇粉頰
終會被歲月的鐮刀砍伐；
愛 不隨分分秒秒、日日月月改變，
愛不畏時間磨鍊，直到末日盡頭。

若有人可證明我所解不實，
那麼  這些字句不曾出現  如同真愛不曾存在。
