Sonnets of William Shakespeare-Sonnet 46

　　How to divide the conquest of thy sight;

　　Mine eye my heart thy picture's sight would bar,

　　My heart mine eye the freedom of that right.

　　My heart doth plead that thou in him dost lie--

　　A closet never pierced with crystal eyes--

　　But the defendant doth that plea deny

　　And says in him thy fair appearance lies.

　　To 'cide this title is impanneled

　　A quest of thoughts, all tenants to the heart,

　　And by their verdict is determined

　　The clear eye's moiety and the dear heart's part:

　　As thus; mine eye's due is thy outward part,

　　And my heart's right thy inward love of heart.

　　我的眼和我的心在作殊死战，

　　怎样去把你姣好的容貌分赃;

　　眼儿要把心和你的形象隔断，

　　心儿又不甘愿把这权利相让。

　　心儿声称你在它的深处潜隐，

　　从没有明眸闯得进它的宝箱;

　　被告却把这申辩坚决地否认，

　　说是你的倩影在它里面珍藏。

　　为解决这悬案就不得不邀请

　　我心里所有的住户--思想--协商;

　　它们的共同的判词终于决定

　　明眸和亲挚的心应得的分量

　　如下：你的仪表属于我的眼睛，

　　而我的心占有你心里的爱情。
