原文:
It is a strange thing, to note the excess of this passion, and how it braves the nature, and value of things, by this; that the speaking in a perpetual hyperbole, is comely in nothing but in love. Neither is it merely in the phrase; for whereas it hath been well said, that the arch-flatterer, with whom all the petty flatterers have intelligence, is a man`s self; certainly the lover is more. For there was never proud man thought so absurdly well of him self, as the lover doth of the person loved; and therefore it was well said, That it is impossible to love, and to be wise. Neither doth this weakness appear to others only, and not to the party loved; but to the loved most of all, except the love be reciproque. For it is a true rule, that love is ever rewarded, either with the reciproque, or with an inward and secret contempt.
參考譯文:
過度的愛情追求,必然會降低人本身的價值。例如,只有在愛情中,才永遠需要那種浮夸謅媚的詞令。而在其他場合,同樣的詞令只能招人恥笑。古人有一句名言:“最大的奉承,人總是留給自己的”。只有對情人的奉承要算例外。因為甚至最驕傲的`人,也甘愿在情人面前自輕自賤。所以古人說得好:“就是神在愛情中也難保持聰明!鼻槿说倪@種弱點不僅在外人眼中是明顯的,就是在被追求者的眼中也會很明顯——除非她(他)也在追求他(她)。所以,愛情的代價就是如此,不能得到回愛,就會得到一種深藏于心的輕蔑,這是一條永真的定律。
