Sonnet 84 by William Shakespeare

Who is it that says most, which can say more,
Than this rich praise, that you alone, are you,
In whose confine immured is the store
Which should example where your equal grew?

Lean penury within that pen doth dwell
That to his subject lends not some small glory;
But he that writes of you, if he can tell
That you are you, so dignifies his story.

Let him but copy what in you is writ,
Not making worse what nature made so clear,
And such a counterpart shall fame his wit,
Making his style admired every where.

You to your beauteous blessings add a curse,
Being fond on praise, which makes your praises worse.

84. szonett (Fordította: Győri Vilmos és Szász Károly)

Ki mond legjobbat? Mondható-e jobb
Mint az hogy te csupán te vagy magad.
E szóba’ benn van már a legnagyobb,
Egyéb hasonlat hű képet nem ad.

Meddő szegénység lakja azt a tollat,
Mely nem szerez tárgyának semmi hirt;
De a ki rólad ír s tud irni olyat,
Hogy te te légy: dicső lesz a mit irt.

Másolja csak, mit benned írva lel,
S ne rontsa a természet remekét:
Elméje így oly képet ecsetel,
Hogy mindenütt megbámulják müvét.

Te bájos áldásidhoz átkot adsz,
Ha rontó hódolást kivánsz s fogadsz.
