Love's Farewell
          Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

       Since there's no help, come let us kiss and part,—
        Nay1 I have done, you get no more of me;
       And I am glad, yea, glad with all my heart,
        That thus so cleanly I myself can free;

       Shake hands for ever, cancel all our vows2,
        And when we meet at any time again,
       Be it not seen in either of our brows
        That we one jot3 of former love retain.

       Now at the last gasp4 of love's latest breath,
        When his pulse failing, passion speechless lies,
       When faith is kneeling by his bed of death,
        And innocence5 is closing up his eyes,

       —Now if thou would'st, when all have given him over,
       From death to life thou might'st him yet decover!

              爱的告别

          既然没有办法了,让我们亲吻分离,
          够了,你不再能从我得到什么东西;
          我欢喜,是呀,我满心欢喜,
          我这样完全摆脱了自己。
          握手永别,取消我们所有誓言,
          而且无论何时再见,
          不要显在我们各自的眉间
          我们保存了我们前恋的一星一点。
          现在爱的临终呼吸发出最后喘息,
          他的脉搏衰微,热情安卧无语,
          信仰跪在他的死榻一隅,
          无辜将他的双眼合起,--
          假如你愿,在一切抛弃他的瞬间,
          你仍然可以使他从死里生还!

         

  注:该诗发表于1619年,采用中世纪寓言手法,将“爱”拟人化,描写了纯洁崇高的爱是不可能终止的,是无法告别的,即使爱已经濒临死亡,只要被爱者吐露一丝怜悯,垂死的爱便会重生。

  迈克尔-德雷顿(1563–1631),诗人和剧作家,生于瓦立克郡,著有十四行诗、颂歌、田园诗、历史叙事诗和剧本等。
