The Complete Works of William Shakespeare — Page 8
That this huge stage presenteth nought but shows
이 거대한 무대가 한낱 볼거리만을 보여줄 뿐이니
Whereon the stars in secret influence comment.
그 위에서 별들이 은밀한 영향력으로 논평하는구나.
When I perceive that men as plants increase,
사람들이 식물처럼 자라남을 내가 깨달을 때,
Cheered and checked even by the self-same sky:
똑같은 하늘에 의해 북돋워지기도 하고 억눌리기도 하며:
Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease,
젊음의 수액 속에서 뽐내다가, 절정에서 쇠락하고,
And wear their brave state out of memory.
그들의 찬란한 상태를 기억 밖으로 닳아 없애버리는구나.
Then the conceit of this inconstant stay,
그러면 이 덧없는 머무름에 대한 생각이,
Sets you most rich in youth before my sight,
젊음으로 가장 풍요로운 당신을 내 눈앞에 세우니,
Where wasteful Time debateth with Decay
낭비하는 시간이 쇠락과 다투는 그곳에서
To change your day of youth to sullied night,
당신의 젊음의 날을 더럽혀진 밤으로 바꾸려 하니,
And all in war with Time for love of you,
그대를 사랑하기에 시간과 온전히 싸우며,
As he takes from you, I engraft you new.
그가 그대에게서 앗아갈 때, 나는 그대를 새로이 접붙이노라.
But wherefore do not you a mightier way
그런데 어찌하여 그대는 더 강력한 방법으로
Make war upon this bloody tyrant Time?
이 피비린내 나는 폭군 시간에 맞서 싸우지 않는가?
And fortify yourself in your decay
그리고 그대의 쇠락 속에서 스스로를 굳건히 하지 않는가
With means more blessed than my barren rhyme?
나의 메마른 운율보다 더 복된 수단으로?
Now stand you on the top of happy hours,
지금 그대는 행복한 시절의 정점에 서 있으니,
And many maiden gardens yet unset,
아직 심기지 않은 많은 처녀 정원들이,
With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers,
덕스러운 소망으로 그대를 위해 살아있는 꽃을 피워낼 것이니,
Much liker than your painted counterfeit:
그대의 채색된 모조품보다 훨씬 더 닮은:
So should the lines of life that life repair
그리하여 삶의 선들이 그 삶을 복원해야 하리니
Which this (Time's pencil) or my pupil pen
이것(시간의 붓)이나 나의 미숙한 펜으로는
Neither in inward worth nor outward fair
내면의 가치도 외면의 아름다움도
Can make you live yourself in eyes of men.
사람들의 눈에 그대 자신으로 살게 할 수 없노라.
To give away yourself, keeps yourself still,
그대 자신을 내어줌이 그대 자신을 여전히 간직하게 하니,
And you must live drawn by your own sweet skill.
그대는 그대 자신의 달콤한 재주로 그려지며 살아야 하노라.
Who will believe my verse in time to come
훗날 누가 나의 시를 믿으리오
If it were filled with your most high deserts?
그것이 그대의 가장 높은 덕으로 가득 차 있다 할지라도?
