Sonnet 112
Your love and pity doth th'impression fill,
Which vulgar scandal stamped upon my brow;
For what care I who calls me well or ill,
So you o'er-green my bad, my good allow?
You are my all-the-world, and I must strive
To know my shames and praises from your tongue;
None else to me, nor I to none alive,
That my steeled sense or changes right or wrong.
In so profound abysm I throw all care
Of others'voices, that my adder's sense
To critic and to flatterer stopped are.
Mark how with my neglect I do dispense:
You are so strongly in my purpose bred,
That all the world besides methinks are dead.
一一二
你的爱怜抹掉那世俗的讥谗
打在我的额上的耻辱的烙印;
别人的毁誉对我有什么相干,
你既表扬我的善又把恶遮隐!
你是我整个宇宙,我必须努力
从你的口里听取我的荣和辱;
我把别人,别人把我,都当作死,
谁能使我的铁心肠变善或变恶?
别人的意见我全扔入了深渊,
那么干净,我简直像聋蛇一般,
凭他奉承或诽谤都充耳不闻。
请倾听我怎样原谅我的冷淡:
你那么根深蒂固长在我心里,
全世界,除了你,我都认为死去。
