「Let me confess that we two must be twain,」(让我承认我们俩一定要分离,) 「Although our undivided loves are one:」(尽管我们那分不开的爱是一体:) 「So shall those blots that do with me remain 」(这样,许多留在我身上的瑕疵,) 「Without thy help by me be borne alone. 」(将不用你分担,由我独自承起。)
「In our two loves there is but one respect,」(你我的相爱全出于一片至诚,) 「Though in our lives a separable spite,」(尽管不同的生活把我们隔开,) 「Which though it alter not love's sole effect,」(这纵然改变不了爱情的真纯,) 「Yet doth it steal sweet hours from love's delight.」(却偷掉许多密约佳期的欢快。)
