Sonnets of William Shakespeare-Sonnet 40

　　What hast thou then more than thou hadst before?

　　No love, my love, that thou mayst true love call;

　　All mine was thine before thou hadst this more.

　　Then if for my love thou my love receivest,

　　I cannot blame thee for my love thou usest;

　　But yet be blamed, if thou thyself deceivest

　　By wilful taste of what thyself refusest.

　　I do forgive thy robbery, gentle thief,

　　Although thou steal thee all my poverty;

　　And yet, love knows, it is a greater grief

　　To bear love's wrong than hate's known injury.

　　Lascivious grace, in whom all ill well shows,

　　Kill me with spites; yet we must not be foes.

　　奪掉我的愛，愛呵，請通通奪去;

　　看看比你已有的能多些什么?

　　沒什么，愛呵，稱得上真情實(shí)義;

　　我所愛早屬你，縱使不添這個。

　　那么，你為愛我而接受我所愛，

　　我不能對你這享受加以責(zé)備;

　　但得受責(zé)備，若甘心自我欺紿，

　　你故意貪嘗不愿接受的東西。

　　我可以原諒你的掠奪，溫柔賊，

　　雖然你把我僅有的通通偷走;

　　可是，忍受愛情的暗算，愛曉得，

　　比憎恨的明傷是更大的煩憂。

　　風(fēng)流的嫵媚，連你的惡也嫵媚，

　　盡管毒殺我，我們可別相仇視。
