欣逢夏日｜莎士比亞十四行詩 56

Sweet love, renew thy force. Be it not said
真情聽我言，活力請重現，
Thy edge should blunter be than appetite,
莫使汝鋒芒，鈍於食慾前，
Which but today by feeding is allayed,
今朝若飽腹，食慾則消減，
Tomorrow sharpened in his former might.
明日得鋒利，強烈如昔現。

So, love, be thou. Although today thou fill
同理應汝也，儘管今日見，
Thy hungry eyes even till they wink with fullness,
飽足飢渴眸，直至須闔眼，
Tomorrow see again, and do not kill
明日復見之，然而卻不厭，
The spirit of love with a perpetual dullness.
真情有精神，久鈍不能滅。

Let this sad int’rim like the ocean be
令此傷別離，大海無際邊，
Which parts the shore where two contracted new
文定新人倆，闊別兩岸間，
Come daily to the banks, that, when they see
每日來岸前，有朝若得見，
Return of love, more blessed may be the view.
真情歸來景，幸福更無限。

Or call it winter, which being full of care
稱之為寒冬，憂愁有萬千，
Makes summer’s welcome, thrice more wished, more rare.
夏日更欣逢，愈罕愈祈願。
