LIII
What is your substance, whereof are you made,
That millions of strange shadows on you tend?
Since every one, hath every one, one shade,
And you but one, can every shadow lend.
Describe Adonis, and the counterfeit
Is poorly imitated after you;
On Helen's cheek all art of beauty set,
And you in Grecian tires are painted new:
Speak of the spring, and foison of the year,
The one doth shadow of your beauty show,
The other as your bounty doth appear;
And you in every blessed shape we know.
In all external grace you have some part,
But you like none, none you, for constant heart.

究竟是什么材料造就了你？
为何千万个影子与你同形？
一个人通常只有一个形体，
偏你一人出租千万个倩影。
摹绘阿多尼斯吧，那幅赝品
充其量是对你拙劣的模仿；
当一切画技用来描绘海伦，
那张脸又是你，着希腊衣装。
说起一年中春和秋的美景，
前者彰显出你外表的风采，
后者记录下你德操的丰盈；
我们知道：你的美无处不在。
一切外表的美有你的一份，
如论内在，唯有你一片赤诚。
