Shakespeare Sonnet 12莎士比亞十四行詩
When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silver'd o'er with white:
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves,
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green, all girded up in sheaves,
Born on the bier with white and bristly beard;
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake,
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.
翻譯：
當我數著壁上報時的自鳴鐘，
見明媚的白晝墜入猙獰的夜，
當我凝望著紫羅蘭老了春容，
青絲的卷發遍灑著皚皚白雪;
當我看見參天的樹枝葉盡脫，
它不久前曾蔭蔽喘息的牛羊;
夏天的青翠壹束壹束地就縛，
帶著堅挺的白須被舁上殮床;
於是我不禁為妳的朱顏焦慮:
終有天妳要加入時光的廢堆，
既然美和芳菲都把自己拋棄，
眼看著別人生長自己卻枯萎;
沒什麽抵擋得住時光的毒手 ，
除了生育，當他來要把妳拘走。
