At this same ancient feast of Capulet's Sups the fair Rosaline whom thou so lov'st; With all the admired beauties of Verona.
Bei eben diesem alten Fest des Capulet speist die schöne Rosaline, die du so liebst, mit all den bewunderten Schönheiten Veronas.
Go thither and with unattainted eye, Compare her face with some that I shall show, And I will make thee think thy swan a crow.
Geh dorthin und vergleiche mit unbeflecktem Auge ihr Gesicht mit einigen, die ich dir zeigen werde, und ich werde dich deinen Schwan für eine Krähe halten lassen.

When the devout religion of mine eye Maintains such falsehood, then turn tears to fire;
Wenn die fromme Religion meines Auges solche Unwahrheit aufrechthält, dann wandle Tränen in Feuer;
And these who, often drown'd, could never die, Transparent heretics, be burnt for liars.
Und diese, die oft ertrunken, doch niemals sterben konnten, durchsichtige Ketzer, mögen als Lügner verbrannt werden.
One fairer than my love? The all-seeing sun Ne'er saw her match since first the world begun.
Eine Schönere als meine Geliebte? Die allsehende Sonne sah ihresgleichen nie, seit die Welt zuerst begann.
