SONNET 116
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests, and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error, and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
СОНЕТ 116
В соединении двух любящих сердец
Позвольте мне препятствиям положить конец.
Любовь не есть любовь,
Которая, найдя измену, изменяет
И отступает, когда ее отдаляют
О, нет! Она есть постоянный знак,
Который не сдвинуть просто так.
Это сияющая звезда для каждого
Блуждающего в ночи корабля,
И свет ее не достигаем, но он пленяет нас мгновенно,
Он временем не поражаем
И все же манит непременно.
Века не могут обмануть любовь,
Хоть молодость и канет в лету,
Любовь же остается навсегда - и истину я знаю эту.
Но если все же ошибаюсь я,
И вы окутаны обманом льстивым,
То значит: лжет рука моя,
И нет любви на этом свете дивном.
