莎士比亞《Venus and Adonis》翻譯 - 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.

 

夜不能耗歌冗贅， 

久戀之情恨時短： 

情寄人歡情自慰， 

躍躍情歡人所願：

情話娓娓初有始，

聽者寥寥終無止。
