雙語·莎士比亞十四行詩集 109

CIX

O, never say that I was false of heart,

Though absence seemed my flame to qualify,

As easy might I from myself depart

As from my soul which in thy breast doth lie.

That is my home of love. If I have ranged,

Like him that travels I return again,

Just to the time, not with the time exchanged,

So that myself bring water for my stain.

Never believe, though in my nature reigned

All frailties that besiege all kinds of blood,

That it could so preposterously be stained

To leave for nothing all thy sum of good.

For nothing this wide universe I call,

Save thou, my rose, in it thou art my all.
