"Did you notice I skipped one? Sonnet 76." (@SirPatStew)

Sonnet 76 by William Shakespeare

Why is my verse so barren of new pride,
So far from variation or quick change?
Why with the time do I not glance aside
To new-found methods, and to compounds strange?

Why write I still all one, ever the same,
And keep invention in a noted weed,
That every word doth almost tell my name,
Showing their birth, and where they did proceed?
O! know sweet love I always write of you,

And you and love are still my argument;
So all my best is dressing old words new,
Spending again what is already spent:

For as the sun is daily new and old,
So is my love still telling what is told.

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

Új diszbe’ m’ért hogy oly meddő dalom?
Nincs benne semmi élénk változat.
Mért a divattal nem kaczérkodom?
Se új modor, se ritka fordulat!

Miért irok csak egyet mindig újra,
S az eszmét ismerős ruhába öltöm,
Hogy mindenik szó nevem kész tanúja,
Mutatva hol, mikép s mi végre költöm.

De tudd meg: én egyről zengek, te rólad,
Tárgyam csupán te vagy s a szerelem:
Azért dalom más semmiről se szólhat,
S más szókban a régit ismételem.

Uj s régi igy lesz a nap is naponta,
S igy lesz a többször mondott ujra mondva.
