Then hate me when thou wilt; if ever, now;

Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross,

Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow,

And do not drop in for an after-loss:

Ah, do not, when my heart hath 'scoped this sorrow,

Come in the rearward of a conquer'd woe;

Give not a windy night a rainy morrow,

To linger out a purposed overthrow.

If thou wilt leave me, do not leave me last,

When other petty griefs have done their spite

But in the onset come; so shall I taste

At first the very worst of fortune's might,

And other strains of woe, which now seem woe,

Compared with loss of thee will not seem so.

恨我，倘若你高興；請現在就開首；

現在，當舉世都起來和我作對，

請趁勢為命運助威，逼我低頭，

別意外地走來作事后的摧毀。

唉，不要，當我的心已擺脫煩惱，

來為一個已克服的厄難作殿，

不要在暴風后再來一個雨朝，

把那注定的浩劫的來臨拖延。

如果你要離開我，別等到最后，

當其他的煩憂已經肆盡暴虐；

請一開頭就來：讓我好先嘗夠

命運的權威應有盡有的兇惡。

　　于是別的苦痛，現在顯得苦痛，

　　比起喪失你來便要無影無蹤。
