How can I then return in happy plight
That am debarred the benefit of rest?
When day's oppression is not eased by night,
But day by night and night by day oppressed;
And each (though enemies to either's reign)
Do in consent shake hands to torture me,
The one by toil, the other to complain
How far I toil, still farther off from thee.
I tell the day to please him thou art bright,
And dost him grace when clouds do blot the heaven;
So flatter I the swart-complexioned night,
When sparkling stars twire not thou gild'st the even:
But day doth daily draw my sorrows longer,
And night doth nightly make griefs' strength seem stronger.




How can I overcome fatigue,
When I am deprived of goodness alone?
The stress of the day makes night,
And the night as day, and tormented me with a longing.
Day and night - the enemies to each other -
Like shake hands.
I labor the day, rejected by fate,
And do not sleep at night, grust apart.
To afford positioning the dawn,
I compared to thee a fine day
And dark night sent hi,
Having said that, stars like you.
But the harder my next day,
And darker coming of night the shade.
Quote Explanation: Sonnet 28 translated by Samuil Marshak.

When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf,
And the world makes you King for a day,
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that guy has to say.
For it isnt your Father, or Mother, or Wife,
Who judgement upon you must pass.
The feller whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the guy staring back from the glass.
He's the feller to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end,
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.




When you become rich, everyone knows you,
Look in the reflection -
The guy in the mirror can look and say with love
And you listen carefully.
Not father or mother, not your friend, not wife,
Judged strictly for your business.
The guy, whose sentence is always the most important,
Looks from the mirror straight in the eye.
No matter what the guy will be with you
Before you leave us suddenly.
And, believe me, you passed the hardest test of your,
If in the mirror the guy is your friend.
(When you once succeed
And be king for one day
Then look in the mirror, look at yourself,
And listen to what you say, this man is.
This - not the mother, not the father or wife,
Whose judgment you must pass.
The man, whose judgment has the most weight
Is the person looking at you from the mirror.
To him, you have to like and not others
Because only he will be with you until the end.
And you've passed your most dangerous,difficult test
If he says that he's your friend.)
