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.

　　夺掉我的爱，爱呵，请通通夺去;

　　看看比你已有的能多些什么?

　　没什么，爱呵，称得上真情实义;

　　我所爱早属你，纵使不添这个。

　　那么，你为爱我而接受我所爱，

　　我不能对你这享受加以责备;

　　但得受责备，若甘心自我欺绐，

　　你故意贪尝不愿接受的东西。

　　我可以原谅你的掠夺，温柔贼，

　　虽然你把我仅有的通通偷走;

　　可是，忍受爱情的暗算，爱晓得，

　　比憎恨的明伤是更大的烦忧。

　　风流的妩媚，连你的恶也妩媚，

　　尽管毒杀我，我们可别相仇视。
