Sonnet 2 by William Shakespeare

When forty winters shall besiege thy brow,
And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field,
Thy youth's proud livery, so gazed on now,
Will be a tatter'd weed, of small worth held:

Then being ask'd where all thy beauty lies,
Where all the treasure of thy lusty days;
To say, within thine own deep-sunken eyes,
Were an all-eating shame and thriftless praise.

How much more praise deserved thy beauty's use,
If thou couldst answer 'This fair child of mine
Shall sum my count and make my old excuse,'
Proving his beauty by succession thine!

This were to be new made when thou art old,
And see thy blood warm when thou feel'st it cold.

2. szonett: Ha homlokod negyven tél ostroma (fordította Szabó Lőrinc)

Ha homlokod negyven tél ostroma
S szépséged kertjét mély árkok ülik,
Ifjúságod, e most csodált ruha,
Nyűtt rongy lett, mely alig ér valamit:

S ha megkérdik, szépséged hova lett,
Deli napjaid kincse hova halt,
Válasznak saját üreges szemed
Emésztő szégyen lesz s roncs diadal.

Felélt szépséged viszont újra nagy
Érdem lehetne: »Íme, szép fiam
Összegezi s kimenti koromat«,
Látnánk: tied, ami szép rajta van.

Így újulnál, öregem, és a véred
Melegítene, bár hidegnek érzed.
