斯宾塞爱情十四行诗选之一

Sonnet I

   by Edmund Spenser

Happy ye leaues when as those lilly hands,
which hold my life in their dead doing might
shall handle you and hold in loues soft bands,
lyke captiues trembling at the victors sight.
And happy lines, on which with starry light,
those lamping eyes will deigne sometimes to look
and reade the sorrowes of my dying spright,
written with teares in harts close bleeding book.
And happy rymes bath'd in the sacred brooke,
of Helicon whence she deriued is,
when ye behold that Angels blessed looke,
my soules long lacked foode, my heauens blis.
Leaues, lines, and rymes, seeke her to please alone,
whom if ye please, I care for other none.

斯宾塞爱情十四行诗选之一

            埃德蒙•斯宾塞

幸福的书页啊，那双百合般的素手，
以致死的力量紧攫着我的生命，
将抚摸你，用爱的柔带把你牢扣，
像征服者面前的囚徒，你战战兢兢。
幸福的诗句啊，那双明亮的眼睛，
将时时像星光俯视来把你看望，
来探查我这濒死的灵魂的愁情，
我内心悲书中用泪水写下的忧伤。
幸福的韵律啊，你浸在赫利孔山上，
神圣的溪中，那里是她的来处，
你将会看到那天使快乐的目光，
我心中久缺的食粮，我天国的至福。
书页、诗句和韵律啊，去讨她喜欢，
倘若她高兴，其他人我一概不管。
