Sonnets of William Shakespeare-Sonnet 47
Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took,
And each doth good turns now unto the other:
When that mine eye is famish'd for a look,
Or heart in love with sighs himself doth smother,
With my love's picture then my eye doth feast
And to the painted banquet bids my heart;
Another time mine eye is my heart's guest
And in his thoughts of love doth share a part:
So, either by thy picture or my love,
Thyself away art resent still with me;
For thou not farther than my thoughts canst move,
And I am still with them and they with thee;
Or, if they sleep, thy picture in my sight
Awakes my heart to heart's and eye's delight.
现在我的眼和心缔结了同盟,
为的是互相帮忙和互相救济:
当眼儿渴望要一见你的尊容,
或痴情的心快要给叹气窒息,
眼儿就把你的画像大摆筵桌,
邀请心去参加这图画的盛宴;
有时候眼睛又是心的座上客,
去把它缱绻的情思平均分沾:
这样,或靠你的像或我的依恋,
你本人虽远离还是和我在一起;
你不能比我的情思走得更远,
我老跟着它们,它们又跟着你;
或者,它们倘睡着,我眼中的像
就把心唤醒,使心和眼都舒畅。
