斯賓塞情詩集 作者:(英)埃德蒙·斯賓塞


Sonnet 14

RETOURNE agayne, my forces late dismayd,

Unto the siege by you abandoned quite:

Great shame it is to leaue, like one afrayd,

So fayre a peece[1] for one repulse so light.

Gaynst such strong castles needeth[2] greater might,

Then those small forts which ye were wont belay[3],

Such haughty mynds, enured to hardy[4] fight,

Disdayne to yield unto the first assay[5].

Bring therefore all the forces that ye may,

And lay incessant battery to her heart,

Playnts, prayers, vowes, ruth, sorrow, and dismay,

Those engins can the proudest loue conuert[6].

And if those fayle, fall downe and dy before her,

So dying liue, and liuing do adore her.
