When thou shalt be disposed to set me light

And place my merit in the eye of scorn,

And prove thee virtuous, though thou art forsworn.

With mine own weakness being best acquainted,

Upon thy part I can set down a story

我會替你記下我的毛病所在，

Of faults concealed wherein I am attainted,

記下我鮮為人知的劣跡丑聞，

That thou, in losing me, shall win much glory;

以便你能因棄我而贏得喝彩；

And I by this will be a gainer too;

當(dāng)然我也會因此而成為贏家，

For bending all my loving thoughts on thee,

The injuries that to myself I do,

Doing thee vantage, double-vantage me.

于你有益對我就有雙倍的好處。

Such is my love, to thee I so belong,

此乃我之愛，我完全屬于［你］，

That, for thy right, myself will bear all wrong.
