Сонеты. Гамлет в переводе Николая Самойлова. Уильям Шекспир

      А, впрочем, навреди, как и другим,

      В моих стихах жить будет молодым.

      20

      A woman's face with Nature's own hand painted

      Hast thou, the master-mistress of my passion;

      A woman's gentle heart, but not acquainted

      With shifting change, as is false women's fashion;

      An eye more bright than theirs, less false in rolling,

      Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth;

      A man in hue, all hues in his controlling,

      Which steals men's eyes and women's souls amazeth.

      And for a woman wert thou first created,

      Till Nature as she wrought thee fell a-doting,

      And by addition me of thee defeated,

      By adding one thing to my purpose nothing.

      But since she pricked thee out for women's pleasure,

      Mine be thy love and thy love's use their treasure.

      20

      Ты с женским ликом создан был природой,

      Душой и господин, и госпожа;

      Нежнее женщин сердцем, но отроду

      Живёшь, лишь постоянством дорожа;
