莎士比亞十四行詩集之一百五十四
The Sonnet 154
by William Shakespeare
The little Love-god lying once asleep,
Laid by his side his heart-inflaming brand,
Whilst many nymphs that vowed chaste life to keep,
Came tripping by, but in her maiden hand,
The fairest votary took up that fire,
Which many legions of true hearts had warmed,
And so the general of hot desire,
Was sleeping by a virgin hand disarmed.
This brand she quenched in a cool well by,
Which from Love's fire took heat perpetual,
Growing a bath and healthful remedy,
For men discased, but I my mistress' thrall,
Came there for cure and this by that I prove,
Love's fire heats water, water cools not love.
莎士比亞十四行詩集之一百五十四
梁宗岱 譯
小小愛神有一次呼呼地睡著，
把點燃心焰的火炬放在一邊，
一群蹁躚的貞潔的仙女恰巧
走過；其中最美的一個天仙
用她處女的手把那曾經燒紅
萬千顆赤心的火炬偷偷拿走，
于是這玩火小法師在酣睡中
便繳械給那貞女的纖纖素手。
她把火炬往附近冷泉里一浸，
泉水被愛神的烈火燒得沸騰，
變成了溫泉，能消除人間百病；
但我呵，被我情婦播弄得頭疼，
跑去溫泉就醫，才把這點弄清：
愛燒熱泉水，泉水冷不了愛情。
