Say that thou didst forsake¹ me for some fault,
And I will comment upon that offence;
Speak of my lameness², and I straight will halt,
Against thy reasons making no defence.
Thou canst not, love, disgrace me half so ill,
To set a form upon desired change,
As I'll myself disgrace: knowing thy will,
I will acquaintance strangle and look strange,
Be absent from thy walks, and in my tongue
Thy sweet beloved name no more shall dwell,
Lest I, too much profane³, should do it wrong
And haply of our old acquaintance tell.
  For thee against myself I'll vow⁴ debate,
  For I must ne'er love him whom thou dost hate.

说你抛弃我是为了我的过失，
我立刻会对这冒犯加以阐说：
叫我做瘸子，我马上两脚都躄，
对你的理由绝不作任何反驳。
为了替你的反复无常找借口，
爱呵，凭你怎样侮辱我，总比不上
我侮辱自己来得厉害；既看透
你心肠，我就要绞杀交情，假装
路人避开你；你那可爱的名字，
那么香，将永不挂在我的舌头，
生怕我，太亵渎了，会把它委屈；
万一还会把我们的旧欢泄漏。
　　我为你将展尽辩才反对自己，
　　因为你所憎恶的，我绝不爱惜。
