Then hate me when thou wilt; if ever,...
Language:
English
Then hate me when thou wilt; if ever, now;
Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross,
Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow,
And do not drop in for an after-loss:
Ah, do not, when my heart hath 'scoped this sorrow,
Come in the rearward of a conquer'd woe;
Give not a windy night a rainy morrow,
To linger out a purposed overthrow.
If thou wilt leave me, do not leave me last,
When other petty griefs have done their spite
But in the onset come; so shall I taste
At first the very worst of fortune's might,
And other strains of woe, which now seem woe,
Compared with loss of thee will not seem so.

Uzh jesli ty razljubish' ‑ tak teper'
Language:
Russian
Uzh jesli ty razljubish' - tak teper',
Teper', kogda ves' mir so mnoj v razdore.
Bud' samoj gor'koj iz moikh poter',
No tol'ko ne poslednej kaplej gorja!
I jesli skorb' dano mne prevozmoch',
Ne nanosi udara iz zasady.
Pust' burnaja ne razreshitsja noch'
Dozhdlivym utrom - utrom bez otrady.
Ostav' menja, no ne v poslednij mig,
Kogda ot melkikh bed ja oslabeju.
Ostav' sejchas, chtob srazu ja postig,
Chto `eto gore vsekh nevzgod bol'neje,
Chto net nevzgod, a jest' odna beda -
Tvojej ljubvi lishit'sja navsegda.
