"Sonnet 83. Perhaps the most difficult one so far." (@SirPatStew)

Sonnet 83 by William Shakespeare

I never saw that you did painting need,
And therefore to your fair no painting set;
I found, or thought I found, you did exceed
The barren tender of a poet's debt:

And therefore have I slept in your report,
That you yourself, being extant, well might show
How far a modern quill doth come too short,
Speaking of worth, what worth in you doth grow.

This silence for my sin you did impute,
Which shall be most my glory being dumb;
For I impair not beauty being mute,
When others would give life, and bring a tomb.

There lives more life in one of your fair eyes
Than both your poets can in praise devise.

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

Soh’sem szükségeléd hogy fessenek,
Azért nem is festettem arczod’ én;
Fölül álltál, vagy állni hittelek
Költők hiú, meddő dicséretén,

S azért alvám el hirdetésedet
Hogy önmagad mutasd minő csekély
A mai toll a mely csak emleget
Oly érdemet, milyen tebenned él.

S mi legfőbb dicsőségem volt nekem:
Hogy hallgaték: te bünrovásba irtad;
Szépséged’ én így nem becsmérelem,
Mig más, ki éltet vágyna hozni, sirt ad.

Több élet él szép szemeid egyikében
Mint mind a két költőd dicsénekében.
