No more be grieved at that which thou hast done:
Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud;
Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun,
And loathsome¹ canker lives in sweetest bud.
All men make faults, and even I in this,
Authorizing thy trespass² with compare,
Myself corrupting³, salving thy amiss,
Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are;
For to thy sensual fault I bring in sense--
Thy adverse⁴ party is thy advocate--
And 'gainst myself a lawful⁵ plea commence:
Such civil war is in my love and hate
  That I an accessary needs must be
  To that sweet thief which sourly robs from me.

别再为你冒犯我的行为痛苦：
玫瑰花有刺，银色的泉有烂泥，
乌云和蚀把太阳和月亮玷污，
可恶的毛虫把香的嫩蕊盘据。
每个人都有错，我就犯了这点：
运用种种比喻来解释你的恶，
弄脏我自己来洗涤你的罪愆，
赦免你那无可赦免的大错过。
因为对你的败行我加以谅解--
你的原告变成了你的辩护士--
我对你起诉，反而把自己出卖：
爱和憎老在我心中互相排挤，
　　以致我不得不变成你的助手
　　去帮你劫夺我，你，温柔的小偷！
