Sonnets of William Shakespeare-Sonnet 6

　　In thee thy summer, ere thou be distill'd:

　　Make sweet some vial; treasure thou some place

　　With beauty's treasure, ere it be self-kill'd.

　　That use is not forbidden usury,

　　Which happies those that pay the willing loan;

　　That's for thyself to breed another thee,

　　Or ten times happier, be it ten for one;

　　Ten times thyself were happier than thou art,

　　If ten of thine ten times refigured thee:

　　Then what could death do, if thou shouldst depart,

　　Leaving thee living in posterity?

　　Be not self-will'd, for thou art much too fair

　　To be death's conquest and make worms thine heir.

　　那么，別讓冬天嶙峋的手抹掉

　　你的夏天，在你未經(jīng)提煉之前：

　　熏香一些瓶子;把你美的財(cái)寶

　　藏在寶庫里，趁它還未及消散。

　　這樣的借貸并不是違禁取利，

　　既然它使那樂意納息的高興;

　　這是說你該為你另生一個(gè)你，

　　或者，一個(gè)生十，就十倍地幸運(yùn);

　　十倍你自己比你現(xiàn)在更快樂，

　　如果你有十個(gè)兒子來重現(xiàn)你：

　　這樣，即使你長辭，死將奈你何，

　　既然你繼續(xù)活在你的后裔里?

　　別任性：你那么標(biāo)致，何必甘心

　　做死的勝利品，讓蛆蟲做子孫。
