135. Szonett

Word for word: To whom is a wish, to you — your Wiliam, indeed a flash, and a host of lightnings, which is more than enough, and thus I disturb, serving your sweet desire. That which for you is wide and boundless, — though mine might hide within yours! — which your heart accepts with shining joy, for it is dearer, and surpasses all others’. The sea may receive the rain, — it heaps abundance upon its store. — You, with your William, who perhaps increases your will and all its extremes. Be gracious then to your dear suitors! Wish but for one — and let that one be me- William. Be gracious then to your dear suitors! Wish but for one — and let that one be me William. 135. Szonett - magyar fordítás Kinek Kívánság, neked Vilmosod, sőt villanás, s hada villámoknak, mely több, mint elég, s így is zavarok kiszolgálva édes óhajodat. Azt, mely tenéked tág s határtalan, - bár rejtőzhetne tiédben enyém! melyet szíved ragyogva elfogad, mert kedvesebb, s túlhalad másokén. A tenger az esőt fogadja bár - bőséggel halmozza készletét. Te Vilmosoddal, ki növeli tán, akaratod és minden végletét. Kedves kérőkhöz legyen hát kegyed! Egyet akarj, s az én Vilmos legyek. Kedves kérőkhöz legyen hát kegyed! Egyet akarj, s az én Vilmos legyek. original: CXXXV. Whoever hath her wish, thou hast thy ’Will,’ And ’Will’ to boot, and ’Will’ in overplus; More than enough am I that vex thee still, To thy sweet will making addition thus. Wilt thou, whose will is large and spacious, Not once vouchsafe to hide my will in thine? Shall will in others seem right gracious, And in my will no fair acceptance shine? The sea all water, yet receives rain still And in abundance addeth to his store; So thou, being rich in ’Will,’ add to thy ’Will’ One will of mine, to make thy large ’Will’ more. Let no unkind, no fair beseechers kill; Think all but one, and me in that one ’Will.’
