莎士比亚十四行诗全集:第57篇

 　　Being your slave, what should I do but tend Upon the hours and times of your desire? 既是你的奴仆，我只能聊尽愚忠，满足你的欲望，一刻也不放松。

　　I have no precious time at all to spend, 我虽无宝贵的时间供自己驱遣，

　　Nor services to do, till you require. 却可听命于你帐下，垂首鞠躬。

　　Nor dare I chide¹ the world-without-end hour 我不敢抱怨大千世界绵邈无穷，

　　Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you, 我只为你，我的君王，看守时钟。

　　Nor think the bitterness of absence sour 你吩咐我这个仆从悄然退下，

　　When you have bid your servant once adieu; 我不敢多想，离思别绪愁更浓。

　　Nor dare I question with my jealous thought 我不敢心怀嫉炉，暗自猜疑，

　　Where you may be, or your affairs suppose, 你干什么勾当，何处留下行踪。

　　But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought² 我只如一个忧戚的奴仆，头脑空空，

　　Save, where you are how happy you make those. 只玄想你身形到处多少人为你怦然心动。

　　So true a fool is love that in your will, 唉，我这植入你欲田的爱其是蠢猪，

　　Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill. 眼见你为所欲为，却淡然视若无睹。
