Complaint of a Lover Rebuked
Written by Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey
Translated by William Xiong
Love, that liveth and raigneth in my thought,
That built his seat within my captive brest,
Clad in the armes, wherin with me he fought,
Oft in my face he doth his banner rest.
She, that me taught to love, and suffer payne,
My doutfull hope, and eke my hot desire,
With shamefast cloke to shadow and restraine,
Her smiling grace converteth straight to yre.
And coward love then to the hart apace
Taketh his flight, wheras he lurks and plaines
His purpose lost, and dare not shew hia face.
For my lords gilt thus faultless bide I paines,
Yet from my lorde shall not my foote remove,
Swete is his death, that takes his end by love.
怨叹调

爱在我心上主宰我一切，
他的宝座牢建在我胸膛，
怀抱里他与我争斗激烈，
他常把大旗安放我脸庞。
她教我去爱要忍受痛苦，
我的希望和热情多疑难，
披着紧身衣囚在阴暗处，
她的笑态瞬即烟消云散。
于是懦爱带他飞回内心，
而他却潜伏起来发牢骚，
他失去了目标不敢现身，
因主给痛楚镀了金外表。
然而我身心离不开主公，
他死得甜蜜因爱而告终。
