LUCIANA
Self-harming jealousy! fie, beat it hence!
ADRIANA
Unfeeling fools can with such wrongs dispense.
I know his eye doth homage otherwhere,
Or else what lets it but he would be here? 105
Sister, you know he promised me a chain;
Would that alone, alone he would detain,
So he would keep fair quarter with his bed!
I see the jewel best enamelled
Will lose his beauty; yet the gold bides still, 110
That others touch, and often touching will
Wear gold: and no man that hath a name,
By falsehood and corruption doth it shame.
Since that my beauty cannot please his eye,
I'll weep what's left away, and weeping die. 115
LUCIANA
How many fond fools serve mad jealousy!

姊姊,你何必如此,妒嫉徒然自苦!
阿德里安娜
人非木石,谁能忍受这样的欺侮?
我知道他一定爱上了浪柳淫花,
贪恋着温柔滋味才会忘记回家。
他曾经答应我打一条项链相赠,
看他对床头人说话有没有定准!
涂上釉彩的宝石容易失去光润,
最好的黄金经不起人手的摩损,
尽管他是名誉良好的端人正士,
一朝堕落了也照样会不知羞耻。
我这可憎容貌既然难邀他爱顾,
我要悲悼我的残春哭泣着死去。
露西安娜
真有痴心人情愿作妒嫉的俘虏!(同下。)
