Xu Zhimo übersetzt die Balkonszene aus Romeo and Juliet von William Shakespeare in freie Verse.
"Ah soft ! what light shines bright from yonder windows ?
That is the east, Julieh is the eastern sun.
Arise, beautiful sun, and outshine quickly
That envious moon. Since you, being her maid,
Are far more beautiful than she, she is already completely pale with grief."
Shakespeare :
"But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she."
