莎士比亞是歐洲文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期最重要的作家，杰出的戲劇家和詩(shī)人，他在歐洲文學(xué)史上占有特殊的地位，被喻為“人類文學(xué)奧林匹克山上的宙斯”。

　　莎士比亞抒情詩(shī)篇一

　　When I do count the clock that tells the time,

　　And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;

　　When I behold the violet past prime,

　　And sable curls all silver'd o'er with white;

　　When lofty trees I see barren of leaves

　　Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,

　　And summer's green all girded up in sheaves

　　Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,

　　Then of thy beauty do I question make,

　　That thou among the wastes of time must go,

　　Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake

　　And die as fast as they see others grow;

　　And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence

　　Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.

　　當(dāng)我數(shù)著壁上報(bào)時(shí)的自鳴鐘，

　　見(jiàn)明媚的白晝墜入猙獰的夜，

　　當(dāng)我凝望著紫羅蘭老了春容，

　　青絲的卷發(fā)遍灑著皚皚白雪;

　　當(dāng)我看見(jiàn)參天的樹(shù)枝葉盡脫，

　　它不久前曾蔭蔽喘息的牛羊;

　　夏天的青翠一束一束地就縛，

　　帶著堅(jiān)挺的白須被舁上殮床;

　　于是我不禁為你的朱顏焦慮：

　　終有天你要加入時(shí)光的廢堆，

　　既然美和芳菲都把自己拋棄，

　　眼看著別人生長(zhǎng)自己卻枯萎;

　　沒(méi)什么抵擋得住時(shí)光的毒手，

　　除了生育，當(dāng)他來(lái)要把你拘走。

　　莎士比亞抒情詩(shī)篇二

　　O, that you were yourself! but, love, you are

　　No longer yours than you yourself here live:

　　Against this coming end you should prepare,

　　And your sweet semblance to some other give.

　　So should that beauty which you hold in lease

　　Find no determination: then you were

　　Yourself again after yourself's decease,

　　When your sweet issue your sweet form should bear.

　　Who lets so fair a house fall to decay,

　　Which husbandry in honour might uphold

　　Against the stormy gusts of winter's day

　　And barren rage of death's eternal cold?

　　O, none but unthrifts! Dear my love, you know

　　You had a father: let your son say so.

　　哦，但愿你是你自己，但愛(ài)呀，你

　　終非你有，當(dāng)你不再活在世上：

　　對(duì)這將臨的日子你得要準(zhǔn)備，

　　快交給別人你那俊秀的肖像。

　　這樣，你所租賃的朱顏就永遠(yuǎn)

　　不會(huì)有滿期;于是你又將變成

　　你自己，當(dāng)你已經(jīng)離開(kāi)了人間，

　　既然你兒子保留著你的倩影。

　　誰(shuí)肯讓一座這樣的華廈傾頹，

　　如果小心地看守便可以維護(hù)

　　它的光彩，去抵抗隆冬的狂吹

　　和那冷酷的死神無(wú)情的暴怒?

　　哦，除非是浪子;我愛(ài)呀，你知道

　　你有父親;讓你兒子也可自豪。
