031 So Sweet A Kiss the Golden Sun Gives Not 

So sweet a kiss the golden sun gives not

To those fresh morning drops upon the rose,

As thy eye-beams, when their fresh rays have smote

The night of dew that on my cheeks down flows:

Nor shines the silver moon one half so bright

Through the transparent bosom of the deep,

As doth thy face through tears of mine give light;

Thou shinest in every tear that I do weep:

No drop but as a coach doth carry thee;

So ridest thou triumphing in my woe.

Do but behold the tears that swell in me,

And they thy glory through my grief will show:

But do not love thyself; then thou wilt keep

My tears for glasses, and still make me weep.

O queen of queens! how far dost thou excel,

No thought can think, nor tongue of mortal tell.

Love's Labour's Lost, Act IV, Scene,III

031  旭日金輝親人，難比此種甜蜜 ①

旭日金輝親人，難比此種甜蜜：

且看那清新晨曦吻薔薇

如君之明眸靈光流瀉

撒落夜露沿我雙頰點點滴。

皓月銀光臨水，難得一半明麗：

且看那穿透海底澄澈明輝，

如君之容光掠過我臉上淚流，

陪我啜泣，閃爍迷離。

淚珠非水滴，而是鳳輦載君出，

沿我悲摧車轍君之凱歌入雲霓。

請君回眸觀賞兩彎淚泉，

我之凄絕正好反襯君之榮譽：

請君勿一味自戀，但請以我

愁眼作明鏡，照見淚泉流不已。

艷后之后！君之絕美高出群芳幾許，

想像難追神翼，言筌焉得飛魚！②
