When I consider every thing that grows Holds in perfection but a little moment, That this huge stage presenteth nought but shows Whereon the stars in secret influence comment; When I perceive that men as plants increase, Cheered and cheque'd even by the self-same sky, Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, And wear their brave state out of memory; Then the conceitof this inconstant stay Sets you most rich in youth before my sight, Where wasteful Time debateth with Decay, To change your day of youth to sullied night; And all in war with Time for love of you, As he takes from you, I engraft you new. 當我默察一切活潑潑的生機 保持它們的芳菲都不過一瞬， 宇宙的舞臺只搬弄一些把戲 被上蒼的星宿在冥冥中牽引； 當我發(fā)覺人和草木一樣蕃衍， 任同一的天把他鼓勵和阻撓， 少壯時欣欣向榮，盛極又必反， 繁華和璀璨都被從記憶抹掉； 于是這一切奄忽浮生的征候 便把妙齡的你在我眼前呈列， 眼見殘暴的時光與腐朽同謀， 要把你青春的白晝化作黑夜； 為了你的愛我將和時光爭持： 他摧折你，我要把你重新接枝。
