莎士比亞十四行詩集之一百四十四
The Sonnet 144
by William Shakespeare
Two loves I have of comfort and despair,
Which like two spirits do suggest me still,
The better angel is a man right fair:
The worser spirit a woman coloured ill.
To win me soon to hell my female evil,
Tempteth my better angel from my side,
And would corrupt my saint to be a devil:
Wooing his purity with her foul pride.
And whether that my angel be turned fiend,
Suspect I may, yet not directly tell,
But being both from me both to each friend,
I guess one angel in another's hell.
Yet this shall I ne'er know but live in doubt,
Till my bad angel fire my good one out.
莎士比亞十四行詩集之一百四十四
莎士比亞
兩個愛人像精靈般把我誘惑，
一個叫安慰，另外一個叫絕望：
善的天使是個男子，豐姿綽約；
惡的幽靈是個女人，其貌不揚。
為了促使我早進地獄，那女鬼
引誘我的善精靈硬把我拋開，
還要把他迷惑，使淪落為妖魅，
用骯臟的驕傲追求純潔的愛。
我的天使是否已變成了惡魔，
我無法一下子確定，只能猜疑；
但兩個都把我扔下，互相結合，
一個想必進了另一個的地獄。
可是這一點我永遠無法猜透，
除非是惡的天使把善的攆走。
（梁宗岱 譯）
