Sonnets of William Shakespeare-Sonnet 57

　　Upon the hours and times of your desire?

　　I have no precious time at all to spend,

　　Nor services to do, till you require.

　　Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour

　　Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,

　　Nor think the bitterness of absence sour

　　When you have bid your servant once adieu;

　　Nor dare I question with my jealous thought

　　Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,

　　But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought

　　Save, where you are how happy you make those.

　　So true a fool is love that in your will,

　　Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill.

　　既然是你奴隸，我有什么可做，

　　除了時時刻刻伺候你的心愿?

　　我毫無寶貴的時間可消磨，

　　也無事可做，直到你有所驅(qū)遣。

　　我不敢罵那綿綿無盡的時刻，

　　當我為你，主人，把時辰來看守;

　　也不敢埋怨別離是多么殘酷，

　　在你已經(jīng)把你的仆人辭退后;

　　也不敢用妒忌的念頭去探索

　　你究竟在哪里，或者為什么忙碌，

　　只是，像個可憐的奴隸，呆想著

　　你所在的地方，人們會多幸福。

　　愛這呆子是那么無救藥的呆

　　憑你為所欲為，他都不覺得壞。
