莎士比亚《Venus and Adonis》翻译 - 141

Her song was tedious and outwore the night,

For lovers' hours are long, though seeming short:

If pleased themselves, others, they think, delight

In such-like circumstance, with suchlike sport:

Their copious stories oftentimes begun

End without audience and are never done.

 

夜不能耗歌冗赘， 

久恋之情恨时短： 

情寄人欢情自慰， 

跃跃情欢人所愿：

情话娓娓初有始，

听者寥寥终无止。
