Romeo and Juliet — Page 10
The earth hath swallowed all my hopes but she,
Die Erde hat alle meine Hoffnungen verschluckt, außer ihr,
She is the hopeful lady of my earth:
Sie ist die hoffnungsvolle Herrin meiner Erde:
But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart,
Doch werbt um sie, edler Paris, gewinnt ihr Herz,
My will to her consent is but a part;
Mein Wille ist ohne ihre Zustimmung nur ein Teil;
And she agree, within her scope of choice
Und stimmt sie zu, so liegt in ihrem Ermessen
Lies my consent and fair according voice.
Meine Zustimmung und mein wohlwollendes Wort.
This night I hold an old accustom'd feast,
Diese Nacht halte ich ein althergebrachtes Fest ab,
Whereto I have invited many a guest,
Zu dem ich viele Gäste eingeladen habe,
Such as I love, and you among the store,
Solche, die mir lieb sind, und Euch unter ihnen,
One more, most welcome, makes my number more.
Einer mehr, herzlich willkommen, mehrt meine Zahl.
At my poor house look to behold this night
In meinem bescheidenen Haus könnt Ihr diese Nacht erblicken
Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light:
Erdwandelnde Sterne, die den dunklen Himmel erhellen:
Such comfort as do lusty young men feel
Solche Freude, wie sie junge lebenslustige Männer empfinden,
When well apparell'd April on the heel
Wenn der prächtig gekleidete April auf den Fersen
Of limping winter treads, even such delight
Des hinkenden Winters schreitet, genau solche Wonne
Among fresh female buds shall you this night
Unter frischen weiblichen Knospen sollt Ihr diese Nacht
Inherit at my house. Hear all, all see,
In meinem Haus erben. Hört alles, seht alles,
And like her most whose merit most shall be:
Und liebt am meisten jene, deren Verdienst am größten ist:
Which, on more view of many, mine, being one,
Die, wenn man viele betrachtet, meine, die eine davon,
May stand in number, though in reckoning none.
In der Zahl bestehen mag, obwohl sie im Vergleich nichts zählt.
Come, go with me. Go, sirrah, trudge about
Kommt, geht mit mir. Geh, Bursche, stapfe umher
Through fair Verona; find those persons out
Durch das schöne Verona; finde jene Personen auf,
Whose names are written there, [_gives a paper_] and to them say,
Deren Namen dort verzeichnet sind, [_überreicht ein Papier_] und sag ihnen,
My house and welcome on their pleasure stay.
Mein Haus und ein herzliches Willkommen harren ihrer Freude.
[_Exeunt Capulet and Paris._]
[_Capulet und Paris gehen ab._]
SERVANT.
DIENER.
Find them out whose names are written here!
Finde jene auf, deren Namen hier verzeichnet sind!
