Original text and translations

English text

Weep, O mine eyes and cease not,
alas, these your spring tides methinks increase not.
O when begin you
to swell so high that I may drown me in you?

German translation

Weint, Augen, weint! Und schweigt nicht!

Doch ach! Ihr Tränenströme, denk ich, steigt nicht!

O wollt, o wollt beginnen

die hohe Flut, daß ich ertrink darinnen!

Poetic translation released under the CPDL license by Jan-Frerk Burmester. The translator would appreciate feedback if you use his translations - please email: jf.burmester(a)web.de

Portuguese translation

Chorai, ó meus olhos, e não pareis;

Ai de mim, que me parece que estas vossas marés vivas não se incrementam.

Oh, quando ireis vós formar ondas tão altas

Que eu me possa afogar nelas?
