Speech 2 Rom eo's Soliloquy from Rom eo and Juliet...
But,soft!What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east,and Juliet is the sun!
Arise,fair sun,and kills the enviousmoon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou hermaid are farmore fair than she:
Be not hermaid,since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green,
And none but foolswear it,cast it off.
It ismy lady.O,it ismy love!
O,she knew that she were!
She speaks,yet says nothing:
What of that?
Her eyes discourses,Iwill answer it.
Iam too bold?’tis not tome she speaks:
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business,do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were there,they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
As daylight doth a lamp,here eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think itwere not night.
See,how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O,that Iwere a glove upon that hand,
That Imight touch that cheek!
...
O speak again,bright angel!For thou art
As glorious to this night,being o'ermy head,
As is a winged messenger of heaven
Ofmortals that fall back to gaze on him,
When he bestrides the lazy puffing clouds(https://www.daowen.com)
And sails upon the bosom of the air.

罗密欧的独白
——选自莎士比亚剧作《罗密欧与朱丽叶》
轻声!那边窗户里亮起来的是什么光?
那是东方,朱丽叶就是太阳!
起来吧,美丽的太阳!赶走那嫉妒的月亮,
她因为你的美丽而忧伤变得面色惨白了。
既然她这样妒忌着你,你不必再做它的伴娘。
她的光就像那修女的道服,笼罩着它的妒忌,
惨白而令人作呕,只配留给小丑。
抖落它吧。她是我的意中人,
啊!她是我的爱!但愿她知道我在爱着她!
她欲言又止,她会说什么呢?
她的眼睛在流露她的心事。我就去回答她。
这样是否太鲁莽?也许她不是对我说话。
天上两颗最明亮的星星,有事外出离去,
请求她的眼睛代替它们在空中闪耀。
如果她的眼睛变成了天上的星星,
天上的星星变成了她的眼睛,那会怎样?
她脸上的明媚定会遮盖了星星的明亮,
如同白昼的阳光使烁烁的灯光黯然失色。
在天上她的眼睛一定照耀出满天的光明,
使鸟儿以为黑夜已经过去而啼叫欢鸣。
看,她用纤手托住了脸,那姿态多么美妙!
啊,但愿我是那一只手上的手套,好让我亲吻她的脸!
……
啊!再说下去吧,光明的天使!
今天夜里你是这样的辉煌,我在这夜色之中仰望着你,
就像尘世中一个凡夫俗子,睁大了仰慕的眼睛,
仰望着一个长着翅羽翼的天使,驾着白云缓缓飞过天空。
