Love is my sin and thy dear virtue hate,
愛是我的罪惡,恨則是你的德行,
Hate of my sin, grounded on sinful loving:
因為你恨的是我的有罪的愛情。
O, but with mine compare thou thine own state,
但是如果比較一下你我的處境,
And thou shalt find it merits not reproving;
你就會發(fā)現你的恨有點過分。
Or, if it do, not from those lips of thine,
就算你該恨,也不該淤了尊口,
That have profaned their scarlet ornaments
你唇邊的口紅已橫遭侵凌,
And seal'd false bonds of love as oft as mine,
一如從前對我,虛蓋上愛的假印,

Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents.
曾于他人的枕畔背著我盜玉偷金。
Be it lawful I love thee, as thou lovest those
我愛你就跟你愛他們一樣合法,
Whom thine eyes woo as mine importune thee:
我的眼睛纏著你,你的垂涎著他們。
Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows
在你的心中注滿善良的慈悲吧,
Thy pity may deserve to pitied be.
你可憐我你也會交上被可憐的運。
If thou dost seek to have what thou dost hide,
假如你希求憐憫卻藏起自己的慈悲,
By self-example mayst thou be denied!
別人也就會學你的樣子對你橫眉冷對。
