If thou must love me, let it be for nought   Except for love's sake only. Do not say,   I love her for her smile ... her look ... her way,   Of speaking gently,... for a trick of thought,   That falls in well with mine, and certes brought,[certes: certainly]   A sense of pleasant ease on such a day'–   For these things in themselves, Beloved, may be changed,   or change for thee,-- and love, so wrought [wrought: worked]   May be unwrought so. Neither love me for   Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry,--   A creature might to weep, who bore.   Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby!   But love for love's sake, that evermore.   Thou may'st love on, through love's eternity.   - Elizabeth Barrett Browning, from the Portuguese, No. XIV   如果你一心要愛我,那就別為了什麼,請隻是為了愛才愛我。   別這麼講:“我愛她,為了她的一笑,她的模樣,她那柔語的聲氣;   為了她這感觸正好合我的心意,那天裡,的確給我帶來滿懷的喜悅和舒暢。”   親愛的,這些好處都不能持常,會因你而變,而這樣唱出的愛曲也將這樣啞寂。,   別愛我隻因為你又憐又惜地給我揩乾了淚腮,   一個人會忘了哭泣,   久受你溫柔的慰安--卻因此失了你的愛。   愛我,請隻是為了那愛的意念,   那你就能繼續地愛,愛我如深海。   -白朗寧夫人《葡萄牙人十四行詩集》第十四首
