《仲夏夜之梦》，是莎士比亚最著名的喜剧之一，讲述了有情人终成眷属的爱情故事：有两个英俊的小伙子拉山德（Lysander）和狄米特律斯（Demetrius）同时爱上了美丽的姑娘赫米雅（Hermia），但赫米娅只爱拉山德，她的好友另一漂亮姑娘海伦
娜（Helena）恋上了狄米特律斯。赫米娅为了反对父亲包办婚姻要和情人拉山德私奔，约定好夜晚在森林里会面。海伦娜虽然自己深爱着狄米特律斯，却为了他的幸福，将这一消息告诉了他。。。这首诗就是海伦娜在给狄米特律斯通风报信前的独白：
海伦娜（绿岛阳光译--20-8-2013）
很是不解在这世上
为啥总有人能更幸福呀？
虽然全雅典都认为我的美丽
不在那赫米雅之下！
那又有何用呢？
狄米特律斯眼瞎！
他已无救地爱上了赫米雅
痴迷而不能自拔！
我自己又何尝不是如此？
日夜想念无思不他！
爱由心起，爱遮慧眼
爱屋及乌，爱掩疵瑕！
双翅轻盈却双眼无霞
那就是描绘丘比特的画---
盲目的爱神---天哪！
射出的情箭怎能不乱靶？
爱情犹如孩童的游戏
嘻玩打闹真真假假！
记得狄米特律斯曾那样爱我
允诺发誓只有我和他
但赫米雅炙热的眼神
瞬间将他的心和诺言融化！
可是，我却仍然要告诉他
赫米雅私奔的计划
让他明晚去树林里
去等待她追求她
虽然回报我的将是
苦爱的无望和撕裂的心痂！
莎士比亚原作：
HELENA
How happy some o'er other some can be!
Through Athens
I am thought as fair as she.
But what of that? Demetrius thinks not so;
He will not know what all but he do know:
And as he errs, doting on Hermia's eyes,
So I, admiring of his qualities:
Things base and vile, folding no quantity,
Love can transpose to form and dignity:
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind:
Nor hath Love's mind of any judgement taste;
Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste:
And therefore is Love said to be a child,
Because in choice he is so oft beguiled.
As waggish boys in game themselves forswear,
So the boy Love is perjured every where:
For ere Demetrius look'd on Hermia's eyne,
He hail'd down oaths that he was only mine;
And when this hail some heat from Hermia felt,
So he dissolved, and showers of oaths did melt.
I will go tell him of fair Hermia's flight:
Then to the wood will he to-morrow night
Pursue her; and for this intelligence
If I have thanks, it is a dear expense:
But herein mean I to enrich my pain,
To have his sight thither and back again.
