莎士比亚十四行情诗精选（七十一）

　　No longer mourn for me when I am dead.

Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell.

Give warning to the world that I am fled.

From this vile world with vilest worms to dwell:

Nay, if you read this line, remember not,

The hand that writ it, for I love you so,

That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot,

If thinking on me then should make you woe.

O! if, I say, you look upon this verse,

When I perhaps compounded am with clay,

Do not so much as my poor name rehearse;

But let your love even with my life decay;

Lest the wise world should look into your moan,

And mock you with me after I am gone.

翻译：
　　你会听到，我的丧锺沉郁敲响，

不要为我哭得比它，更为悲惨；

宣告，我已离开这邪恶的世界，

就要和最龌龊的蛆虫，去作伴；

我的挚友啊！若你再读这些诗，

千万不要想起这是，谁的手卷；

如果温情悼念，会导致你伤感，

我宁愿在你的记忆中，被忘淡；

切记！当我已零落成泥的时候，

如果你还在，翻阅我这些诗篇；

请别再提及我那，可怜的名字，

就让你的崇拜，伴随我到终点；

别让狡黠世人，看穿你的哀叹；

免得在我身后，把你当作笑谈。
