Sonnets of William Shakespeare-Sonnet 91

　　Some in their wealth, some in their bodies' force,

　　Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill,

　　Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse;

　　And every humour hath his adjunct pleasure,

　　Wherein it finds a joy above the rest:

　　But these particulars are not my measure;

　　All these I better in one general best.

　　Thy love is better than high birth to me,

　　Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' cost,

　　Of more delight than hawks or horses be;

　　And having thee, of all men's pride I boast:

　　Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take

　　All this away and me most wretched make.

　　有人夸耀門第，有人夸耀技巧，

　　有人夸耀財富，有人夸耀體力;

　　有人夸耀新妝，丑怪盡管時髦;

　　有人夸耀鷹犬，有人夸耀駿驥;

　　每種嗜好都各饒?zhí)厥獾娜の叮?/p>

　　每一種都各自以為其樂無窮：

　　可是這些癖好都不合我口胃--

　　我把它們融入更大的樂趣中。

　　你的愛對我比門第還要豪華，

　　比財富還要豐裕，比艷妝光彩，

　　它的樂趣遠勝過鷹犬和駿馬;

　　有了你，我便可以笑傲全世界：

　　只有這點可憐：你隨時可罷免

　　我這一切，使我成無比的可憐。
