爱情的礼赞

爱情的礼赞

如果是爱情使我赌咒发誓，我又何能拒绝爱情？

啊，一切誓言都是空话，只除了对美人的誓辞；

虽然我仿佛言而无信，我对你却永远是一片真心；

那一切，对我是不移的橡树，对你却是柔软的柳枝。

我要把他当一本书来仔细阅读，研究其中的字句，

那里贮藏着一切具有深意的、人世少有的欢娱，

如果说学问重要，我要求的学问就是完全了解你；

没有学问的舌头，就根本不可能有赞颂你的能力；

只有冥顽无知的人，有缘见到你，会全然无动于心；

我是这样从心里崇拜你，为此我感到无比骄傲。

你的眼神是宙斯的闪电，你的声音是他的雷霆，

但如果你声音里不带怒气，它却又比音乐更美妙。

可是，你是天人，当然不会喜爱这人世间的浮辞，

这尘俗的辞句，不管多美，也不配用来赞颂天使。

If love make me forsworn, how shall 

I swear to love? 

O never faith could hold, 

If not to beauty vow'd: 

Though to myself forsworn, to thee 

I'll constant prove; 

Those thoughts, to me like oaks, to thee 

Like osiers bow'd. 

Study his bias leaves, 

and make his book thine eyes, 

Where all those pleasures live that art can comprehend. 

If knowledge be the mark, to know thee shall suffice; 

Well learned is that tongue that well can thee commend; 

All ignorant that soul that sees thee without wonder; 

Which is to me some praise, that I thy parts admire: 

Thy eye Jove's lightning seems, thy voice his dreadful thunder, 

Which, not to anger bent, is music and sweet fire. 

Celestial as thou art, O do not love that wrong, 

To sing heaven's praise with such an earthly tongue.
