Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all to short a date. Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm’d; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance , or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d: But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st; Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st. So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. 十四行诗（第十八首） （朱生豪 译） 我怎能把你来比作夏天？ 你不独比它可爱也比它温婉： 狂风把五月宠爱的嫩蕊作践， 夏天出赁的期限又未免太短： 天上的眼睛有时照得太酷烈， 它那炳耀的金颜又常遭掩蔽： 被机缘或无情的天道所摧折， 没有芳艳不终于凋残或销毁。 English Literature in the 17th Century (1603-1700) 1.
