英文的律诗——十四行诗

——远地 farland, 2011.01
英文十四行诗(Sonnet)对格律韵脚有着严格要求,
可以称之为英文的律诗。
例,莎士比亞(Shakespeare)第一百四十一首
In faith I do notlove thee with mine eyes,
For they in thee a thousand errors note;
But `tis my heart that loves what they despise,
Who in despite of view is pleased to dote.
Nor are mine ears with thy tongue`s tune delighted;
Nor tender feeling to base touches prone,
Nor taste, nor smell, desire to be invited
To any sensual feast with thee alone.
But my five wits, nor my five senses can
Dissuade one foolish heart from serving thee,
Who leaves unswayed the likeness of a man,
Thy proud heart`s slave and vassal wretch to be.
Only my plague thus far I count my gain,
That she that makes me sin awards me pain.
格律 (与中文七言律诗比较):
1,由十四行组成;  (中文七言律诗,由八行组成)
2,每行十个音节(syllable);  (中文七言律诗,每行七个音节)
3,每行,一弱一强两音节为一组,共五组(Iambic pentameter);(这算是英语平仄规则吧)
4,压韵规则为: 十四行韵脚依次为 ABAB CDCD EFEF GG
  (相同的字母,为相同的韵脚) 
  (中文七言律诗压韵规则为: OA OA OA OA,或 AA OA OA OA
   O处行不压韵)
