西方英文诗歌诗体纵览(5)

Is it that men’s frail eyes, which gaze too bold,(b)
She may entangle in that golden snare;
And being caught may craftily enfold(b)
Their weaker hearts, which are not yet well aware?(c)
Take heed therefore, mine eyes, how ye do stare
Henceforth too rashly on that guileful net,(d)
In which if ever ye entrapped are
Out of her bands ye by no means shall get.(d)
Folly it were for any being free,(f)
To covet fetters, though they golden be.(g)

Sonnets
William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
From fairest creatures we desire increase,
That thereby beauty’s rose might never die.
But as the riper should by time decease,
His tender heir might bear his memory:
But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes,
Feed"st thy light’s flame with self-substantial fuel,
Making a famine where abundance lies,
Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.
Thou that art now the world’s fresh ornament
