Farewell, Love
Sir Thomas
Wyatt
(1503~1542)
Farwell, Love, and all thy laws
forever,
Thy baited hooks shall tangle
me no more;
Senec and Plato call me
from thy lore,
To perfect wealth my wit
for to endeavor,
In blind error then I
did persever,
Thy sharp repulse, that
prickth aye so sore,
Hath taought me to
set in trifles no store
And scape forth
since liberty is lever
Therefore
farewell, go trouble younger hearts,
And in me claim no more authority
With idle youth go use thy property,
And therein spend thy many brittle
darts,
For hitherto though I have lost
all my time,
Me lusteth no longer
rotten boughs to climb.
·注释：
: your
“
Thy
”
and

thine

thee
< br>”
.
The reflexive form of
“
thy
”
is
“
thyself
”
.
baited hooks shall

此处“
baited
hooks

作放上诱饵的钩，
人一量上钩便被缠住难以脱身（
tangle
）
.

call me from thy lore, To perfect wealth my wit
for to endeavor: I.e.
“
senec

Roman moral philosopher and tragedian)
and plato call me to educate my mind to perfect
well-being (wealth)

费时间，且徒劳无功。
Sonnet 75
Edmund Spenser (1552-1599)
One day I wrote her name upon the
strand,
But came the waves and washed
it away;
Agayne I wrote it with a
second hand,
But came the tyde, and
made my paynes his pray.
“
Vayne
man,
”
, said she,
“
that does in vain
assay,
”
A mortal
thing so to immortalize.
For I my selve
shall lyke to this decay,
And eek my
name bee wiped out
lykewize.
”
“
Not
I
”
, quod I,
“
let bader thigs
devize,
”
To dy in
dust, but you shall live by fame;
My
verse your virtues rare shall eternize,
And in the heavens wryte your glorious
name.
