Love's Farewell
[英]迈克尔·德雷顿
Michael Drayton
别无他法，让我们最后一次吻别，
我曾为你所做的一切，从此你再得不到；
我开心，是的，满心欢喜，
我彻底释放了自己；
握手永别，让曾经的誓言随风消散，
无论何时我们再见，
都只当从未谋面；
记住曾经的点点滴滴，
此时我们的爱奄奄一息，
他的脉搏衰弱，热情消退，
曾经的诺言跪在床角，
无辜合上了他的双眼——
如果你愿意，在抛弃他之前，
你仍能使他起死回生！
Since there's no help， come let us kiss and part，—
Nay I have done， you get no more of me；
And I am glad， yea， glad with all my heart，
That thus so cleanly I myself can free；
Shake hands for ever， cancel all our vows，
And when we meet at any time again，
Be it not seen in either of our brows
That we one jot of former love retain.
Now at the last gasp of love's latest breath，
When， his pulse failing， passion speechless lies，
When faith is kneeling by his bed of death，
And innocence is closing up his eyes—
Now if thou would'st， when all have given him over，
From death to life thou might'st him yet recover！
