Sonnets of William Shakespeare-Sonnet 29

　　I all alone beweep my outcast state

　　And trouble deal heaven with my bootless cries

　　And look upon myself and curse my fate,

　　Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

　　Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,

　　Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,

　　With what I most enjoy contented least;

　　Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,

　　Haply I think on thee, and then my state,

　　Like to the lark at break of day arising

　　From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;

　　For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings

　　That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

　　當我受盡命運和人們的白眼，

　　暗暗地哀悼自己的身世飄零，

　　徒用呼吁去干擾聾瞆的昊天，

　　顧盼著身影，詛咒自己的生辰，

　　愿我和另一個一樣富于希望，

　　面貌相似，又和他一樣廣交游，

　　希求這人的淵博，那人的內(nèi)行，

　　最賞心的樂事覺得最不對頭;

　　可是，當我正要這樣看輕自己，

　　忽然想起了你，于是我的精神，

　　便像云雀破曉從陰霾的大地

　　振翮上升，高唱著圣歌在天門：

　　一想起你的愛使我那么富有，

　　和帝王換位我也不屑于屈就。
