Sonnets of William Shakespeare-Sonnet 76

Why is my verse so barren of new pride,

So far from variation or quick change?

Why with the time do I not glance aside

To new-found methods and to compounds strange?

Why write I still all one, ever the same,

And keep invention in a noted weed,

That every word doth almost tell my name,

Showing their birth and where they did proceed?

O, know, sweet love, I always write of you,

And you and love are still my argument;

So all my best is dressing old words new,

Spending again what is already spent:

For as the sun is daily new and old,

So is my love still telling what is told.

为什么我的诗那么缺新光彩，

赶不上现代善变多姿的风尚？

为什么我不学时人旁征博采

那竞奇斗艳，穷妍极巧的新腔？

为什么我写的`始终别无二致，

寓情思旨趣于一些老调陈言，

几乎每一句都说出我的名字，

透露它们的身世，它们的来源？

哦，须知道，我爱呵，我只把你描，

你和爱情就是我唯一的主题；

推陈出新是我的无上的诀窍，

我把开支过的，不断重新开支：

因为，正如太阳天天新天天旧，

我的爱把说过的事絮絮不休。
