Romeo and Juliet — Page 5
Madam, an hour before the worshipp'd sun
Senhora, uma hora antes que o sol adorado
Peer'd forth the golden window of the east,
Surgisse pela janela dourada do oriente,
A troubled mind drave me to walk abroad,
Uma mente perturbada me levou a passear lá fora,
Where underneath the grove of sycamore
Onde sob o bosque de sicômoros
That westward rooteth from this city side,
Que se enraíza a oeste desta cidade,
So early walking did I see your son.
Caminhando tão cedo avistei seu filho.
Towards him I made, but he was ware of me,
Dirigi-me a ele, mas ele me percebeu,
And stole into the covert of the wood.
E se escondeu furtivamente no interior do bosque.
I, measuring his affections by my own,
Eu, medindo seus sentimentos pelos meus,
Which then most sought where most might not be found,
Que então mais buscava onde menos poderia ser encontrado,
Being one too many by my weary self,
Sendo um a mais para meu eu cansado,
Pursu'd my humour, not pursuing his,
Segui meu humor, sem perseguir o dele,
And gladly shunn'd who gladly fled from me.
E fugi com prazer de quem com prazer fugia de mim.
MONTAGUE.
MONTAGUE.
Many a morning hath he there been seen,
Muitas manhãs ele foi visto ali,
With tears augmenting the fresh morning's dew,
Com lágrimas aumentando o orvalho fresco da manhã,
Adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs;
Acrescentando nuvens às nuvens com seus profundos suspiros;
But all so soon as the all-cheering sun
Mas assim que o sol tão animador
Should in the farthest east begin to draw
Começa a afastar lá no extremo oriente
The shady curtains from Aurora's bed,
As sombrias cortinas do leito de Aurora,
Away from light steals home my heavy son,
Longe da luz, esconde-se em casa meu filho abatido,
And private in his chamber pens himself,
E recolhe-se em seu quarto em privacidade,
Shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out
Fecha suas janelas, tranca a bela luz do dia
And makes himself an artificial night.
E cria para si uma noite artificial.
Black and portentous must this humour prove,
Negro e portentoso deve revelar-se este humor,
Unless good counsel may the cause remove.
A menos que bons conselhos possam remover a causa.
BENVOLIO.
BENVOLIO.
My noble uncle, do you know the cause?
Meu nobre tio, conhece a causa?
MONTAGUE.
MONTAGUE.
I neither know it nor can learn of him.
Nem sei, nem consigo saber por ele.
BENVOLIO.
BENVOLIO.
Have you importun'd him by any means?
Já o importunou de alguma forma?
MONTAGUE.
