シェイクスピア・ソネット鑑賞短歌66: Tanka for Sonnet 66
66
名や名誉 力、道徳 皆(みな)いらぬ
むしろ死を望む 気がかりは彼
Tired with all these, for restful death I cry,
As, to behold Desert a beggar born,
Tired with all these, from these would I be gone,
Save that, to die, I leave my love alone.
Tired with all these, for restful death I cry,
As, to behold Desert a beggar born,
And needy Nothing trimm’d in jollity,
And purest Faith unhappily forsworn,
And gilded Honour shamefully misplaced,
And maiden Virtue rudely strumpeted,
And right Perfection wrongfully disgraced,
And Strength by limping Sway disabled,
And Art made tongue-tied by Authority,
And Folly, doctor-like, controlling Skill,
And simple Truth miscall’d Simplicity,
And captive Good attending captain Ill:
Tired with all these, from these would I be gone,
Save that, to die, I leave my love alone.
