Sonnets of William Shakespeare-Sonnet 144
Two loves I have of comfort and despair,
Which like two spirits do suggest me still:
The better angel is a man right fair,
The worser spirit a woman colour'd ill.
To win me soon to hell, my female evil
Tempteth my better angel from my side,
And would corrupt my saint to be a devil,
Wooing his purity with her foul pride.
And whether that my angel be turn'd fiend
Suspect I may, but not directly tell;
But being both from me, both to each friend,
I guess one angel in another's hell:
Yet this shall I ne'er know, but live in doubt,
Till my bad angel fire my good one out.
两个爱人像精灵般把我诱惑,
一个叫安慰,另外一个叫绝望:
善的天使是个男子,丰姿绰约;
恶的幽灵是个女人,其貌不扬。
为了促使我早进地狱,那女鬼
引诱我的善精灵硬把我抛开,
还要把他迷惑,使沦落为妖魅,
用肮脏的骄傲追求纯洁的爱。
我的天使是否已变成了恶魔,
我无法一下子确定,只能猜疑;
但两个都把我扔下,互相结合,
一个想必进了另一个的地狱。
可是这一点我永远无法猜透,
除非是恶的天使把善的撵走
