Soneto 36

« » Soneto 36
Let me confess that we two must be twain, Although our undivided loves are one: So shall those blots that do with me remain, Without thy help, by me be borne alone. In our two loves there is but one respect, Though in our lives a separable spite, Which though it alter not love's sole effect, Yet doth it steal sweet hours from love's delight. I may not evermore acknowledge thee, Lest my bewailed guilt should do thee shame, Nor thou with public kindness honour me, Unless thou take that honour from thy name: But do not so, I love thee in such sort, As thou being mine, mine is thy good report.
–William Shakespeare

Traduções

Na tradução de Thereza Christina ,

Embora nossos amores indivisos sejam um;

Da mesma forma que as manchas que ficam comigo,

Sem teu auxílio, para que eu as suporte sozinho.

Em nossos amores, há o mesmo respeito,

Embora em nossas vidas o mal nos separe,

Que, mesmo sem alterar os efeitos únicos do amor,

Consegue subtrair doces horas do amoroso prazer.

Eu jamais poderia te reconhecer,

A menos que minha culpa te envergonhe;

Nem tu publicamente com gentilezas me honrarias,

A menos que tire essa honra de teu nome.

Mas não faças isso; amo-te de tal modo,

Pois, sendo minha, de ti só direi o bem.
