莎士比亚《Venus and Adonis》翻译 - 127

'What is thy body but a swallowing grave,

Seeming to bury that posterity

Which by the rights of time thou needs must have,

If thou destroy them not in dark obscurity?

If so, the world will hold thee in disdain,

Sith in thy pride so fair a hope is slain.

“身体不过臭皮囊， 

  囊空人去后继无， 

  若要子孙伴身旁， 

  莫自绝后世代除。 

  君若无后世人恨，

   孤傲灭欲君过甚”
