                                VENUS AND ADONIS

                             by William Shakespeare





           Vilia miretur vulgus�察�mihi flavus Apollo

             Pocula Castalia plena ministret aqua



                            TO THE

                      RIGHT HONOURABLE

                      HENRY WRIOTHESLEY��

                EARL OF SOUTHAMPTON�察�AND BARON

                        OF TITCHFIELD



Right Honourable��

  I know not how I shall offend in dedicating my unpolished lines to

your lordship�察�nor how the world will censure me for choosing so

strong a prop to support so weak a burden�此�only�察�if your honour seem

but pleased�察�I account my self highly praised�察�and vow to take

advantage of all idle hours�察�till I have honoured you with some graver

labour。 But if the first heir of my invention prove deformed�察�I

shall be sorry it had so noble a godfather�察�and never after ear so

barren a land�察�for fear it yield me still so bad a harvest。 I leave it

to your honourable survey�察�and your honour to your heart's content��

which I wish may always answer your own wish�察�and the world's

hopeful expectations。

                                    Your honour's in all duty��

                                           William Shakespeare



  Even as the sun with purple´coloured face

  Had ta'en his last leave of the weeping morn��

  Rose´cheeked Adonis hied him to the chase��

  Hunting he loved�察�but love he laughed to scorn。

    Sick´thoughted Venus makes amain unto him��

    And like a bold´faced suitor 'gins to woo him。



  'Thrice fairer than myself��' thus she began��

  'The field's chief flower�察�sweet above compare��

  Stain to all nymphs�察�more lovely than a man��

  More white and red than doves or roses are��

    Nature that made thee with herself at strife

    Saith that the world hath ending with thy life。



  'Vouchsafe�察�thou wonder�察�to alight thy steed��

  And rein his proud head to the saddle´bow��

  If thou wilt deign this favour�察�for thy meed

  A thousand honey secrets shalt thou know。

    Here come and sit�察�where never serpent hisses��

    And being set�察�I'll smother thee with kisses��



  'And yet not cloy thy lips with loathed saiety��

  But rather famish them amid their plenty��

  Making them red and pale with fresh variety��

  Ten kisses short as one�察�one long as twenty。

    A summer's day will seem an hour but short��

    Being wasted in such time´beguiling sport。'



  With this she seizeth on his sweating palm��

  The precedent of pith and livelihood��

  And�察�trembling in her passion�察�calls it balm��

  Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good。

    Being so enraged�察�desire doth lend her force

    Courageously to pluck him from his horse。



  Over one arm the lusty courser's rein��

  Under her other was the tender boy��

  Who blushed and pouted in a dull disdain��

  With leaden appetite�察�unapt to toy��

    She red and hot as coals of glowing fire��

    He red for shame�察�but frosty in desire。



  The studded bridle on a ragged bough

  Nimbly she fastens´ O�察�how quick is love��

  The steed is stalled up�察�and even now

  To tie the rider she begins to prove。

    Backward she pushed him�察�as she would be thrust��

    And governed him in strength�察�though not in lust。



  So soon was she along as he was down��

  Each leaning on their elbows and their hips��

  Now doth she stroke his cheek�察�now doth he frown��

  And 'gins to chide�察�but soon she stops his lips��

    And kissing speaks�察�with lustful language broken��

    'If thou wilt chide�察�thy lips shall never open。'



  He burns with bashful shame�察�she with her tears

  Doth quench the maiden burning of his cheeks��

  Then with her windy sighs and golden hairs

  To fan and blow them dry again she seeks。

    He saith she is immodest�察�blames her miss��

    What follows more she murders with a kiss。



  Even as an empty eagle�察�sharp by fast��

  Tires with her beak on feathers�察�flesh and bone��

  Shaking her wings�察�devouring all in haste��

  Till either gorge be stuffed or prey be gone��

    Even so she kissed his brow�察�his cheek�察�his chin��

    And where she ends she doth anew begin。



  Thus she replies�此�'Thy palfrey�察�as he should��

  Welcomes the warm approach of sweet desire。

  Affection is a coal that must be cooled��

  Else�察�suffered�察�it will set the heart on fire。

    The sea hath bounds�察�but deep desire hath none��

    Therefore no marvel though thy horse be gone。



  'How like a jade he stood tied to the tree��

  Servilely mastered with a leathern rein��

  But when he saw his love�察�his youth's fair fee��

  He held such petty bondage in disdain��

    Throwing the base thong from his bending crest��

    Enfranchising his mouth�察�his back�察�his breast。



  'Who sees his true´love in her naked bed��

  Teaching the sheets a whiter hue than white��

  But�察�when his glutton eye so full hath fed��

  His other agents aim at like delight��

    Who is so faint that dares not be so bold

    To touch the fire�察�the weather being cold��



  'Let me excuse thy courser�察�gentle boy��'

  And learn of him�察�I heartily beseech thee��

  To take advantage on presented joy��

  Though I were dumb�察�yet his proceedings teach thee。

    O�察�learn to love�察�the lesson is but plain��

    And once made perfect�察�never lost again。'



  'I know not love��' quoth he�察�'nor will not know it��

  Unless it be a boar�察�and then I chase it。

  'Tis much to borrow�察�and I will not owe it。

  My love to love is love but to disgrace it��

    For I have heard it is a life in death��

    That laughs�察�and weeps�察�and all but with a breath。



  'Who wears a garment shapeless and unfinished��

  Who plucks the bud before one leaf put forth��

  If springing things be any jot diminished��

  They wither in their prime�察�prove nothing worth。

    The colt that's backed and burdened being young

    Loseth his pride�察�and never waxeth strong。



  'You hurt my hand with wringing�察�let us part��

  And leave this idle theme�察�this bootless chat��

  Remove your siege from my unyielding heart��

  To love's alarms it will not ope the gate。

    Dismiss your vows�察�your feigned tears�察�your flatt'ry��

    For where a heart is hard they make no batt'ry。'



  'What�察�canst thou talk��' quoth she�察�'hast thou a tongue��

  O�察�would thou hadst not�察�or I had no hearing��

  Thy mermaid's voice hath done me double wrong��

  I had my load before�察�now pressed with bearing��

    Melodious discord�察�heavenly tune harsh sounding��

    Ears' deep´sweet music�察�and heart's deep´sore wounding。



  'Had I no eyes but ears�察�my ears would love

  That inward beauty and invisible��

  Or were I deaf�察�thy outward parts would move

  Each part in me that were but sensible。

    Though neither eyes nor ears�察�to hear nor see��

    Yet should I be in love by touching thee。



  'Say that the sense of feeling were bereft me��

  And that I could not see�察�nor hear�察�nor touch��

  And nothing but the very smell were left me��

  Yet would my love to thee be still as much��

    For from the stillitory of thy face excelling

    Comes breath perfumed�察�that breedeth love by smelling。



  'But O�察�what banquet wert thou to the taste��

  Being nurse and feeder of the other four��

  Would they not wish the feast might ever last��

  And bid Suspicion double´lock the door��

    Lest Jealousy�察�that sour unwelcome guest��

    Should by his stealing in disturb the feast��'



  Once more the ruby´coloured portal opened��

  Which to his speech did honey passage yield��

  Like a red morn�察�that ever yet betokened

  Wrack to the seaman�察�tempest to the field��

    Sorrow to shepherds�察�woe unto the birds��

    Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds。



  This ill presage advisedly she marketh。

  Even as the wind is hushed before it raineth��

  Or as the wolf doth grin before he barketh��

  Or as the berry breaks before it staineth��

    Or like the deadly bullet of a gun��

    His meaning struck her ere his words begun。



  And at his look she flatly falleth down��

  For looks kill love�察�and love by looks reviveth��

  A smile recures the wounding of a frown。

  But blessed bankrupt that by loss so thriveth��

    The silly boy�察�believing she is dead��

    Claps her pale cheek�察�till clapping makes it red��



  And all amazed brake off his late intent��

  For sharply he did think to reprehend her��

  Which cunning love did wittily prevent。

  Fair fall the wit that can so well defend her��

    For on the grass she lies as she were slain��

    Till his breath breatheth life in her again。



  He wrings her nose�察�he strikes her on the cheeks��

  He bends her fingers�察�holds her pulses hard��

  He chafes her lips�察�a thousand ways he seeks

  To mend the hurt that his unkindness marred��

    He kisses her�察�and she�察�by her good will��

    Will never rise�察�so he will kiss her still。



  The night of sorrow now is turned to day��

  Her two blue windows faintly she upheaveth��

  Like the fair sun�察�when in his fresh array

  He cheers the morn�察�and all the earth relieveth��

    And as the bright sun glorifies the sky��

    So is her face illumined with her eye��



  Whose beams upon his hairless face are fixed��

  As if from thence they borrowed all their shine。

  Were never four such lamps together mixed��

  Had not his clouded with his brow's repine��

    But hers�察�which through the crystal tears gave light��

    Shone like the moon in water seen by night。



  Forced to content�察�but never to obey��

  Panting he lies and breatheth in her face��

  She feedeth on the steam as on a prey��

  And calls it heavenly moisture�察�air of grace��

    Wishing her cheeks were gardens full of flowers��

    So they were dewed with such distilling showers。



  Look how a bird lies tangled in a net��

  So fast'ned in her arms Adonis lies��

  Pure shame and awed resistanc
